triple-X domain

["Richard Schwartz" <rtschwartz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The creation of a triple-X domain has twice been considered by ICANN and
twice been rejected, but it has risen its ugly head once again. While it
might seem logical to have an identifying domain on which pornography and
obscenity can be put, most people familiar with the porn industry and
Internet usage believe it will actually increase the amount of porn on the
Internet and make it more available to adults and children.

 

I would hope that as ICANN again considers this issue, it would refuse this
appeal for a triple-X domain.  All the more so with the following in mind.

 

-           The triple-X domain will not make it easier to filter porn, even
if all pornographers would voluntarily move there (and that will not
happen).

-           Since most families do not use effective filtering services, the
triple-X domain would merely make hardcore pornography even easier to find
for children.

-           Hardcore pornography (or "obscene material," as it is called in
U.S. law) on the Internet is already a violation of U.S law.

 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

 

Sincerely,

Richard Schwartz
