ICANN to vote Friday on .xxx domain (IDG)
Faced with an outcry against the creation of a dedicated “.xxx” suffix for pornography Web sites, leaders of ICANN are set to vote Friday on whether to launch the initiative. Supporters say adult content would be easier to regulate if it had its own cordoned section of the Web. But critics including religious leaders say the move could make adult content too easy to find, while others complain that increased filtering could harm the sites’ right to freedom of speech.
