India Becomes First Country To Ban .XXX Domains

We knew there’d be trouble once ICANN approved the use of .XXX domain suffixes. India will block all URLs ending in .XXX, and plenty more are expected to follow suit. This is exactly why the pornstars didn’t want the domain to be approved! [TechSpot via TechRadar]

    Nooooooo!! Now that there’s only one domain to single out every country will block it. It will be the end of the porno industry as we know it.

    but the internet is for porn!

    surely it should be everything ELSE that needs its own sub domain!

      Or, you could just join the 21st Century and use .nzb files for Usenet like everyone else.

    Why don’t they just block .com .net and .org while they are at it. Better to be safe than sorry when censoring an entire country.
