SYDNEY: The proposed setting up of a “.xxx” domain name has caused an uproar in the adult sex industry, as it fears it would be the first step towards segregating porn sites into a “ghetto”.
They believe that the new .xxx domain would create an online red-light district where porn sites can set up shop away from the wandering eyes of children and teenagers.
Parents would be able to use the system to help block access to porn sites, though because its use would be voluntary, the “.xxx” suffix wouldn’t keep such content entirely away from minors.

“I don’t think it’s got anything to offer … except that [for example] Hustler.com’s now got to buy Hustler.xxx to protect our trademarks and protect our names,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Patten as saying.
