Here's my biggest fear:
An internet provider blocks the domain. At first, nobody will complain because "every other media does the same"; then someone will complain, but everyone else will scourge this person as a "perv" and before we realize we have a huge precedent against net neutrality.

- BoppreH 16y agoDamn me for not noticing that. I can already hear it: "think of the children!"
- cookiecaper 16y agoHaving all of the "bad stuff" under one TLD is the whole point, obviously. Government censorship is bad, I agree, but I don't think it's that realistic to think the government will take porn offline. Maybe I'm naive. I like .xxx because it makes private filtering and monitoring much simpler.
- kmfrk 16y agoIf it weren't because it's so hard to define "adult content", I'd be slightly worried as well. Heck, Scandinavian news channels show boobs like it's nothing (because it is, but cultural norms and all that). Besides, I don't think the internet is so centralized that this could be enforced - people will just register from another country with laxer jurisdiction.
- __david__ 16y agoAn easy way to combat that is to start hosting great non-porn content on .xxx domains. I intend to do this from the get-go.
