The Family Research Council has come out against the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers’s plan to create an .xxx domain for pornographic Web sites.
“The new domain would do more harm than good, said Patrick Trueman, FRC’s senior legal counsel in a statement. ” The ‘.com’ domain has been a cash cow for the porn industry and pornographers will not give it up and remove themselves to the ‘.xxx’ domain. Instead, they will populate the ‘.xxx’ domain and perhaps double the number of porn sites available on the Web.
“The ‘.xxx’ domain also cloaks the porn industry with legitimacy,” he continued. “The industry will have a place at the table in developing and maintaining their new property.”
