No XXX TLD
» Internet
Plans for the .xxx have been criticised by many people and organisations, among them former Icann board member Karl Auerbach and US conservative religious groups, including the Family Research Council.
ICM Registry, the company that proposed and plans to run the .xxx, said the domain would have made it easier to find and filter pornographic material online.
Critics said that because signing up for .xxx was voluntary, there was no guarantee pornographers would move material to the new domain, not least because many have established themselves on other well-known sites.
