Fed: Federal govt opposes adult internet domain
The federal government has reportedly written to the international internet domain
name body .. to protest against moves by a US company to establish the adult content domain
.xxx.
Fairfax newspapers say Communications Minister HELEN COONAN wrote to the body .. saying
the domain will increase the availability of pornography.
She also says people could use it to force public figures to pay to prevent their name
becoming an adult site.
A Florida-based company has applied to set up the .xxx internet address .. saying it
would make it easier to identify and block adult sites .. which may currently use .com
or .net.
