I strongly approve of the .xxx "suffix" for a few reasons. The first being
the easiness of monitoring such sites and stopping with the bs of people
saying they have no control over where these sites are. Two, contrary to
many other issues, pornography has no fine line. Sex education is very
different from pornography and is quite distinguishabel at all times. Sex
educators concerned that their sites would be truned into .xxx sites are
wrong in thinking so. Also, it is very easy to creat a consensus in all
countries and the W3 consortium about how to write a law placing ALL
pornography within .xxx boundaries. If someone mirrors .xxx sites in
non-.xxx sites will be shut down, as well as any porn content. Porn.
content providers have nothing to complain about since they are getting an
even better position in relation to where they are now in terms of
appearance.(i.e.: better www.porn.xxx rather than
www.ind.opr.org/~king/sex/index.html). No more of this ridiculous
discussion about viewing improper content since all eduational institutions
including libraries won't be able to view .xxx sites, as well as small-huge
businesses won't be abel to view .xxx sites, and whomever else wants to
adopt simple software not to view .xxx sites. Its more simple than many
people who created all this hassle in the first place, are thinking. And
lastly, contrary to what many people are saying that .xxx sites will be
getting an unnecessary spotlight, people who aren't allowed to see it can
know about these sites all they want, here about them every day, but they
still won't be able to see them: just like dirty magazines. In fact, with
this new regulation, it will be harder to see an online pic than a dirty
magazine, something teenagers and children even are always able to get
their hands at. No one knows how.
