That wacky AFA
Aug. 17th, 2005 07:23 amThey want us to oppose the creation of the new ".xxx" top level domain because it'll somehow endanger children if it's created.
Your help is needed to stop pornographers from having their own Internet domain.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is studying the possibility of giving the pornography industry their own domain. ICANN would ask the pornographers to voluntarily move to the new triple X domain which would contain nothing but pornography. There would be no law to force them to the new triple X domain. ICANN would depend on the good character and integrity of the pornographers to be considerate of others, including our children!!!
In addition to having the triple X domain, the pornographers could (and would) continue sending out billions of pornographic images on every other domain. As bad as pornography is on the Internet now, it would be infinitely worse with the triple X domain. The establishment of a triple X domain would give legitimacy to the pornographers.
And consider this irony: Stuart Lawley, the chairman of the company that would operate the triple X registry, had the audacity to ask for a meeting with officials at the Department of Commerce to show them how the triple X domain would make the Internet a "more family-friendly environment"!!!
TAKE ACTION
Please send the email to ICANN telling them you don't want more pornography on the Internet, but less. Tell them you strongly opposed establishing a triple X domain.
Please help us stop the establishment of the triple X domain by forwarding this to your friends and family. It is time to take a stand against the pornographers and say enough is enough!
Will someone explain how making an easily filtered top level domain is going to increase pornography?
