Journal yintercept's Journal: Isolating Porn
A talking head on TV was squalking about how porn was ubiquitous.
As a hobby, I have been working on building community directories. To build the directories, I basically find central web sites in a community, then follow the links from these central pages until I have a good representation of the sites in a town.
This process brings me through a large number of web sites.
In this process, I've come across surprisingly few porn sites. People rarely link to porn in their day to day lifes.
The primary ways the porn lords inject their sites into the local community is when they buy up expired domains and use the expired domains as feeder pages. I have to remove about 6 or 7 web sites a year from my directory because they turn to porn sites. Web sites that don't pay attention to their links page often end up with links to porn.
Anyway, the reason I like the idea of a .xxx TLD is that, with a dedicated porn TLD, we might be able to thwart that portion of the porn market that buys expired domains and sets them up as web traffic traps.
Other than the expired domain problem and problems with programs that fill guestbooks and comment pages with links to porn sites, the mainstream and porn industry are adequately separated in the status quo.
Interestingly, I've also noticed that churches tend to separated from the community at large. I rarely find web sites that link to their local church. I think many people are scared that people think that linking to churches in town will get their opinions labeled as kookish.
