On Friday, the board of directors of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which oversees the Internet's naming system, approved the creation of an online red-light district for pornographic websites with the domain ".xxx," AP reports.

It follows a decade-long battle over such a name. Religious groups argue that giving adult websites their own corner of the Internet legitimizes the content. Pornographers worry that governments could try to mandate the domain's use, so that pornographic content is more easily blocked. Supporters have maintained that approving the domain is in keeping with the principle of openness that has fueled the Internet's growth.

色情網站獲專用域名

?????? 據美聯社報道，周五，互聯網名稱與數字地址分配機構的董事會批準用“.xxx”域名為色情網站開辟網上紅燈區。此機構監管著互聯網的命名機制。

?????? 有關此域名的論戰已持續了10年之久。宗教團體認為，為成人網站在互聯網上開辟一塊專用地可使色情內容合法化。色情業界人士則擔心政府會強制使用該域名，這樣的話，情色內容更容易被禁。支持人士則認為，批準該域名與推動互聯網成長的開放性原則一致。
