discussion on xxx domain? [ncsg-policy] Draft NCSG comments to GNSO Council on Rec 6

[Dwi Elfrida Martina S]

Dear Caroline,

I am totally agree with you. as woman I feel that my my identity, my
pride, my price decrease to the lowest level, when I saw another woman
explore their sexuality in internet.sometimes I feel that woman in the
porn site is not different with animal, even animal can do better than
human, animal still keep their sex activity in good order, keep it as
intimacy and private right and never explore it through internet.

nevertheless, when I say that I'll support .xxx as legal TLD for porn
site, because I think it will be used as central for porn sites,so easier
to control dissemination of pornography through internet.

Regards,


Dwi
