The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has agreed to create a new top-level domain for the pornography industry. From June, the new domain names ending in “.xxx” will be on sale. There has been debate for about a decade on the creation of this top-level domain. There has been widespread opposition to the new domain names in that time. It is not clear why ICANN has now decided to go ahead with it now. The people who have been pushing for the new domains claim that children will be better protected. However, many disagree. It will still be open for porn to feature on other domains such as “.com” and even the porn industry itself does not like the move as they will have to pay to register additional domain names with no clear benefit.
