The thing that concerns me about this tld is the potential for more puritanical groups to attempt to push any and all "adult" content onto it, then legislate access restrictions. It has the potential to be a vector against network neutrality.
I hope this is really about convenience and not backroom censorship.
- tomjen3 16y agoI had the same fear as you, but lets be real - if they wanted to outlaw porn, they don't have to put in on a special domain first, they could just outlaw it. On the other hand, this allows schools and companies to much easier block porn. It also gives parents a real choice in what to allow their kids to access (personally I don't mind my future kids look at porn, but I would like the opertunity to block it anyway as it would be a good motivation for them to learn some computer skills).

I think the real push will be to legislate that all adult content be moved to the XXX domain... at least in the US.
