Ah …
Now that’s a welcome piece of news, I think.
I’ve just managed to catch this article on the BBC’s site.
About how ICANN, the body responsible for managing the Internet, has now given final approval to the ‘.xxx’ domain.
The domain name allows for adult sites to be grouped together under one banner.
Now some in the adult entertainment industry are complaining this will lead to its ghettoisation: and various religious groupings have argued this will legitimise the industry.
Personally … ?
Personally, I’ll happily admit that — like a lot of men and one or two of my female friends — I’ve watched some entertainingly explicit material.
But it’s material I think may well be inappropriate for anyone under 18 to go near: my former partner, Allison would certainly give me an earful if I let Squeaky near anything untoward, while she was using the Mac Mini, or Archie, the Dell Pc, just behind me, with a version of Arch Linux.
I’m also very aware that one or two friends and co-workers — much more devout than me — may not be be happy about a .xxx domain: but would probably be happy about being able to filter the contents.
Personally … ?
I’m pleased to see this.
