Problems with the proposed "XXX" domain

["tcbundy@xxxxxxxxx" <tcbundy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for not instituting a XXX domain. 
There are at least four problems with the proposed "XXX" domain. First,
pornographers will not be required to use the domain. Second, tech-savvy
kids will be able to circumvent the domain. Third, to some extent the "XXX"
domain will result in the "de facto" legalization of obscenity. 

And fourth, the "XXX" domain will not protect society from hardcore
pornography. As the Supreme Court observed in a 1973 obscenity case (Paris
Adult Theatre I v. Slaton), there are "legitimate governmental interests at
stake in stemming the tide of obscene materials, even assuming it is
feasible to enforce effective safeguards against exposure to juveniles,"
which include maintaining "a decent society" and protecting "public
safety," "family life," "the quality of life," "the total community
environment," and "morality." 

Even though users of the xxx domain will not be permitted to depict child
pornography. They will be permitted to depict (among other things)
18-year-old girls and boys being hogtied, whipped, shocked with
electricity, gang raped, and tortured to death. Depictions of pseudo child
porn, bestiality, excretory functions and matter, incest, prostitution,
teenage gangbangs and unsafe sex galore will also be permitted in the new
xxx domain.
