Blocking porn just got much, much easier

XXX.There’s big news today for anyone interested in blocking (or finding) porn. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers today approved the “.xxx” top-level domain tag.

This is especially nice for organizations (or parents) that want a reliable way to block pornographic material. Granted, not everyone has to ascribe to the domain name, but doesn’t pornhub.xxx look better than pornhub.com?

Strangely enough, the initial response from anti-porn activists was negative. The claim? That this will encourage the proliferation of digital erotica. Yeah, because right now porn is super hard to find.
