Now, I honestly don't care one way or the other about whether or not there's a xxx domain. But it's just totally stupid that right wing conservative groups have been campaigning against it. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

i'm glad it was rejected because that'd make it too easy for filters to block porn sites, and you can bet that every major isp would block them
now if we lived in a normal free society that didn't censor every little thing then i would be all for it, but we're not even close to a free/censorless society the right wing conservative groups were against it because giving porn it's own top level domain would legitimize the internet porn industry, and they didn't want that to happen |

Why would ISPs block porn sites? It would make it easier for net-nanny type programs to block porn (which I have no problem with... parents can do whatever the fuck they choose in that regard), but I've not heard of ISPs themselves blocking it...
