if .XXX gets passed, there will be several "industry leaders" that can be thanked for that... whether misguided, misinformed, or greed was the factor, the result is that adult industry support for .XXX help got ICM Registry on the map with ICANN, and created the opportunity for congress to take that .XXX TLD application and use it for their own means.

Sure, congress could have dreamed up .XXX or .SEX or .SMUT on their own, but the ICM Registry .XXX TLD application had a thought-out plan and structure and had proven to ICANN that they had constituency of the adult community.

Those listed at http://www.FightTheDotXXX.com can be seen as a pretty good representation that there IS NOT constituency in the adult community.

People do need to realize that it is the internet and that at this point besides all the parental control software, they the parents need to be up on everthing there kids are doing. I mean Myspace wasn't created to be a sex site and yet every week there's another 10-15 yo kid who was lured aware and raped by some pedo they met there. Where were mommy and daddy to supervise what the kid was doing?

I mean why don't they pass a bill that states you can't have the internet or cable if you have kids under 17 in your home? That's unfair to everyone with kids, but grown adults must lose more and more freedom because some parent's won't take responsibility for their kids.

:2 cents:

Now that makes sense. That is why it will never be considered!!!

On of course some 7 years old just naturally thinks of http://tiava.com on his own. Sorry Christian parents are just lazy nowadays and expect the government to do the raising of kids. From preventing them from seeing porn to teaching about Jesus in schools. I'm a parent and I'll raise my kid just fine without the governments "help" thank you very much.

all this talk about tiava (and its a great site ), but guess what, the owner of tiava is a non-us citizen, so guess what, you just showed the ineffectiveness of this legislation.

LOL.. exactly!

but this obvious fact won't deter congress (including democrats!) from this feel-good thing of passing a .XXX law.. [what would Ross Perot do?]

at the previous senate judiciary committee hearing on internet pornography where Paul Cambria was on the panel, the senators were pressing him to take back the message from congress to the industry to do some labelling and some steps to keep kids out, or they would do it themselves.. very chilling..

the answer that parents should be controlling their kids activities on the internet is the wrong answer to give back to congress. Government steps in when people can do for themselves, so if parents are ignorant of the internet, don't provide software to do their own screening, they will just cry to the government, or be used as a pawn by religious groups to show how some poor parent is incapable of knowing how to keep up with their kids on the internet.

Congress wants labeling to be done.. and for those outside of the adult biz, .XXX seems to be a no-brainer way to label.. especially if made mandatory.

If US-based websites all self-labeled their content as being adult content, then in one part, that would slow down this movement. ICRA labeling is certainly one method.

The problem is that there are already websites that do self-label...but its the sites that host overseas that may appear in conservatives web browser, and to them, offshore porn is just like it was next door to them... so again, how futile the effort to control.. that only punishes those that are in the US running a legit business (with concerns for protecting children by like not having any graphic images on the homepage with clear warnings that the content is adult in nature, etc).
