After ten years of struggle, finally ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers which is monitoring internet related tasks such as domain register, managing IP addresses) has approved creation of .xxx domain which is like .com, .org, .Sport, .food. Initially the approval was given in 2005 but it was repealed due to protest from political groups. In 2010, board of US adjudicators said, ICANN made a mistake in disagree with the endorsement of the domain. The total number of .xxx domain for pre-register is more than 110,000. The approval of .xxx domain is nearly like online red-light neighborhood.
As we know there will be followers and criticizers for every issue. Like that in this issue, followers are saying that, it will be easy to filter out the irrelevant sites and contents, but many pornographers are worrying that their content may move off.
Clinton words about the .xxx domain issue are “Urging the international crowd to try to use technology and their positions around it to build physical and financial infrastructure systems for poorer nations.”
