He's been selling the idea of a .xxx tld to the media* as "
an effective way to block inappropriate content".
Now blocking adult content based on the tld can only be effective if all adult content is located on a .xxx domain. Otherwise it can never be an effective way to block content.
When I asked him about this on the XBiz forum he chose to ignore the issue several times. He could have simply addressed it by saying he's not responsible for what goes on in the .com tld or something like that. But no, he refused to address the issue.
So, imo, promoting the .xxx tld as an
effective way to filter content + the fact that it can only be effective if it's mandatory + the fact that Lawley refuses to address the issue + the fact that the ICM would make a lot of money if .xxx were made mandatory = makes me very... worried.
If the .xxx tld ever gets approved and someone tries to make it mandatory, there will be no incentive whatsoever for the ICM to try and stop it.
