The creation of the .xxx net domain has come under fire from net veterans.

The decision was called "obscene" by Karl Auerbach, former board member of Icann which approved the .xxx plan.

The controversy over the XXX domain is getting MSM coverage. The thing that goads me is that while this is a really bad idea, so are the whois requirements. In fact the whois requirements are about 1000 times worse. And yet no one cares. People have been taught to believe in freedom of speech, but not in privacy.
