You know, I know, every webmaster knows that enforcing something like that or even trying to enforce something like that is impossible and will only create problems for everyone involved. However, since we are dealing with politicians that have no clue whatsoever about the technology involved (US senators Max Baucus (D., Montana) and Mark Pryor (D., Arkansas) have already proposed creating a .xxx tld and making it mandatory) and the ICM (an organisation that is looking to make a profit at our expense) we have to take into consideration that something that may now seem to be very unlikely may one day become our worst nightmare.
