Porn site .XXX rejected by ICANN gods

Family groups are already quick to applaud ICANN for rejecting the .XXX top-level domain for adult and pornographic websites.

“This is a victory for the American public and our supporters who by the thousands contacted the Commerce Department and ICANN to voice opposition to a XXX domain,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. “Instead of relegating porn to a specific domain, the government would have actually been facilitating the adult industry’s growth. In other words, the XXX would have established a virtual red light district, giving pornographers even more opportunities to flood our homes, libraries and communities with illegal, hardcore obscenity.”

“True and lasting protection will only come from vigorous enforcement of federal obscenity laws. Without the help of federal law enforcement, parents will always be fighting an uphill battle to protect their children,” said Daniel Weiss, senior analyst for the group Focus on the Family.

And thus, at least for now, the excuse of “but mom, I didn’t know it was porn” still flies.
