Members of the Board

I am opposed to pornography. Please do not make it worse by creating a .xxx 
domain.

The .XXX domain will NOT make it easier to filter porn, even if all 
pornographers would voluntarily move there (and that will NOT happen).  The 
problem with filtering is not that it is difficult but rather that too few 
parents care enough to employ filters for the home or laptop computers used by 
their children.  Even if most parents did use filters on home computers, kids 
have access to the Internet outside the home.  And it isn't just the kids that 
need filtering.  Addiction to pornography by adults is rampant so everyone 
needs filtering but, sadly, few bother.  There is overwhelming social science 
evidence of harm from pornography and thus the need for protection from it.

Please do not create a .XXX domain.

Sincerely,

Ted Bernson
210 Peaks Ct
Taylors, SC 29687
