Talkin’ on TV about XXX

Today we had a visit with Ray Herschel, who came to South Deerfield to interview us about the new .xxx domains. I commented that this new domain is actually going to increase the number of porn sites, since any smart owner will just pick up the more expensive .xxx domain and put the same content as he is now offering on .com. This new grouping will cost more per year than regular ‘com’ sites, and $10 of this fee will fund a nonprofit effort to educate about the evils of blue web viewing.

Activists like Donna Rice Hughes are saying that this won’t help their cause, since it just creates more ways to put porn up on the web and the ACLU says it threatens innocent search terms like ‘breast cancer’ or ‘homosexuality’ with being pushed into this xxx zone, which will become the web’s own little red light district, or to some, ‘porn ghetto.’

Watch tonight at 5:30pm on ABC News40, Springfield.
