.XXX domain

The US-based internet governing body rejected a proposal to create an adults-only zone on the internet, or a .XXX domain.Supporters of an .XXX domain argued it would make it easier to confine sex sites and filter them out. Opponents argued it would make pornography on the internet easier to find.The board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which manages the internet's domain-name address system, decided to reject the application for .XXX sites at a meeting in Portugal.
