India to block .XXX top-level domain
 

This was expected right? Who's next?

http://thenextweb.com/asia/2011/03/2....mail.live.com

the USA / Canada and France

Libya / Iraq / Afghanistan


This is why we can't have nice things anymore.

I won't be buying any domains and I hope every government blocks them just to piss off all those greedy fucks.

Wouldn't surprise me if Australia do.. or at least try to.

New Zealand is next...

Good news :thumbsup Australia will ban it too, as well as many other countries. Good luck to those who already bought these useless domains :pimp

Ha indeed, gives a good message to the ones wanting to purchase those :thumbsup

Yeah I expect Australia to ban it too.

It would be pretty comical if so many countries around the globe banned them that nobody bought them all the millions spent and years invested turned out to be for nothing.

As i said at the other thread, didn't India already pass a law that there will be no more censorship unless the site against their national security?

i suspect many will have an opt in option.

it will be a case of asking your isp to unblock them or even have to pay a fee per month.

People who buy the xxx-domains are fucking retards.
It will be so easy to block this shit, you're putting yourself inside a trap.

"In response, a senior official at the ministry of IT stated that “India, along with many other countries from
the Middle East and Indonesia, opposed the grant of the domain in the first place, and we would proceed to block the whole domain, as it goes against the
IT Act and Indian laws.”"

i wish all Your people get dejenerated and Your nightmares come true, then we see more of Indian and Arab chicks and guys screwing Your stupid society norms, fuckin morons :mad:

many will buy on the basis of 'just in case'.

but at some point .xxx will be banned or have opt in system.

so even promoting .xxx sites is pointless.

Very true...

You can count on MANY Asian countries blocking .xxx. The good news is, we can't bill most of them.

The bad news is, it won't stop with Asian countries.

why people than have to register .xxx domain if every country block these

i don't think they will directly move on adult sites, they just signalling their stupid conservative voters that they care their nation's girls won't become pornstars, then those girls and guys move to Western countries to become one ;)

:thumbsup

yup :winkwink:

Is there anybody who did not think this would happen?

India seems to be incredibly strict. I believe all films must have government approval and show that they have approval at the start by showing a license. I don't recall ever seeing a legitimate Indian film which I would rate as anything beyond "PG-13".

Turkey will probably do same.

Of course it was expected...

:2 cents::2 cents:

great news...
as more countries block the .xxx
the more useless it is!

Of course if the USA doesn't block it then 85% of buying consumers will still be flocking to them.

Not to mention the bandwidth overhead will be greatly diminished allowing for more profitability.

I hope all countries block it!

I think Conan did the right joke about it the other night.

.XXX was approved... FINALLY a home for porn on the internet (laughter)

that was to be expected....

Now let's hope that the brilliant govs (yeah right) all around the world, won't force everyone to have anything porn related under .xxx domains only.

Looks like we won round one tho but trust me, keep on eye this bullshit. This is serious stuff !

Actually V_Rocks makes a good point. The counties banning the .xxx right now are those we don't really tend to attempt to market to in the first place. At least not the mainstream porn sites.

How many sites really target Indian or Middle Eastern traffic? I know I don't. I'm not in support of .xxx but really this isn't that big of an obstacle for the new top-level domain because it just means you got rid of a bunch of free loaders you couldn't convert anyway.

nobody bought anything yet,they are not available for sale yet

100% Agree

sweet news.....hope all countries block .xxx and it becomes history of .xxx

India seems to be strict where? first they should stop prostitution in India where a prostitute is available to even 12 - 14 year old boys who even didnt reach his adultry.

Banning .xxx doesnt make any sense bcz indian are too bold enough to show their sex to public now.

Well, I didn't think there was any chance at this point to stop fucking Lawley, but this could be a chance. No one cares about india traffic anyway, and they would probably be doing us a favor blocking it, but if other "good" countries would catch on and enough of them do it, they would devalue the domain enough that no one would register it. I just don't think that is likely though. And they would need to do it quick before the flood gates start opening.

Patience, people patience...this is just the beginning of the natural course of events that many of us predicted.
We don't have to worry about entire countries blocking the TLD, it will happen at many different levels, ISP's , universities, businesses, hotels, wifi hubs, etc.

India is a huge potential market for porn. I was just there and they are porn hungry and millions of Indians can afford memberships etc.
