ICANN Rejects 30

ICANN, the mysterious folk behind the internet thingy, have met and rejected the establishment of the .xxx top level domain. It’s an absolute shame from the point of view of easy control of websites if these TLD domain names were only to be issued to adult sites. But even more of a shame is that… Read More »ICANN Rejects 30
