ICANN Approves .xxx Domains
Comming soon: The Red Light District for the Internet, the New Orleans for cyberspace…yourdomain.xxx
Stuart Lawley, chairman of the ICM Registry, could not be immediately reached for comment. In an interview last year, Lawley said that .xxx domain names would cost around $75 and come with no restrictions except that any sexually explicit content feature only adults. “Apart from child pornography, which is completely illegal, we’re really not in the content-monitoring business,” Lawley said.
In the broad scope of things does this ruling matter? Nope. Just because they make these .xxx domains doesn’t mean anyone has to use them. For every meandyourmondoingit.xxx there will be a meandyourmomdoingit.com. Its a nice thought to have all of the porn sites aligned like that, but that doesn’t mean its going to work.
