Title: Message Hello
I am Joshua Finer,
President and Founder of http://www.Software4Parents.com - one
of the Internet's most visited sites for child protection software.
I have been in the Internet Safety business since 1999, and
have seen the market grow and flourish .I am often quoted in national
media regarding this topic.
Recently, we were
involved in the preparation of a whitepaper in conjunction with wiredkids.org
and wiredsafety.org, concerning the XXX TLD.
Most of our time is
spent educating parents and creating awareness about Internet safety
issues.
A good example of a
recent story was from People magazine last week, concerning kids exposure to
porn via questionable and abusive marketing practices.
It is clear that
something needs to be done. Education and providing software alone is not
enough. The time has come for something fitting and logical, like
.XXX
Of course this TLD
alone will not solve the problem, this is just one of many measures to help
prevent privacy and security abuses for adult customers of legal
porn.
When we combine this
TLD with education, enforcement of existing laws and software/technology tools,
we start to see a solution, without infringing on rights to view legal
content.
In any case, I give
this my full support.
Joshua F. Finer,
MBA
