FRC Urges Supporters to Oppose .XXX Domain

Declan McCullagh writes over on his PoliTech Blog that this is the reason why there will be a "delay" in the creation of the new .xxx TLD:


Family Research Council has launched an effort to mobilize its supporters against the proposal to establish a .XXX domain for porn Webs sites. Tony Perkins, President of Family Research Council released the following statement on www.frc.org earlier today:

"Pornographers will be given even more opportunities to flood our homes, libraries and society with pornography through the .XXX domain. The Internet Corporation for Assigning Names and Numbers (ICANN), the Internet's nonprofit body with authority for development, has indicated that it will establish an .XXX domain for porn Web sites. To some this may initially seem like a good idea but it is one that has been considered and rejected as ineffectual for years. This will NOT require pornographers who are on the .com domain to relocate to the .XXX domain.
