Donald,
I agree that mandatory enforcement of an adult gTLD
would be difficult. Although I would like to see a mandatory policy created that
would force certain types of content into the .xxx domain, I realize that the
most probable motivator will be peer pressure to "do the right thing". I am
amazed at the number of anti-smoking advertisements that are run by cigarette
companies today.
I do not agree, however, that there are Constitutional
issues regarding a mandatory adult zone. I think that require sites that contain
nudity to move to .xxx would be similar to the way retail stores require that
adult magazines be placed in sealed plastic bags with something blocking the
cover. In each case, improper access is being blocked while still allowing
proper access. I am not a legal expert on this matter, and I would like to hear
the opinion of others, especially someone with an expertise in this
area.
