Pornography Regulation
Much talk has been bounced around lately regarding a proposal for a dot-xxx internet suffix. This is not a new concept, however buy-in has been sketchy all around. The idea is that pornographic sites would voluntary take on a dot-xxx domain name. No sites would be required to relinquish their current domain names but they'd simply take on an alias. Newer pornography sites would take on the dot-xxx suffix for more promotion. Internet surfers would know that anything with dot-xxx after it was a pornographic site. Proponents say it would make regulation of child pornography simpler and allow parents to easily block out pornographic sites. Opponents argue that the dot-xxx concept is unrealistic and won't work. Opponents of dot-xxx aren't all in agreement with pornography. They just think this is not the way to go. I'm somewhat baffled on what to think about this issue. I think policing the internet world-wide is a pipe dream. It's a living organism that is completely out of control. It's that very same lack of regulation which has yet to be fully taken advantage of by those who know the truth. The majority of content on the internet is sexually related. This is not the result of freedom of speech or poor internet regulations. That is the result of people who are empty. That is the pulse of the world. Sexual immorality was the downfall of many in the past. King David, Sodom, and Babylon come to mind. You can't rid the internet of pornography without treating the root problem which is people who desire to look at it. So my question would be, to what measure are we able to regulate pornography on the web? And How?
