Porn gets a boost

John C. Dvorak, the anti-editor for PC Magazine, has a very good article that does not bode well for the Internet. Dvorak: Net Porn Scores Victory.

The idea was to isolate the porn sites under the .xxx domain so you (or your children) don't accidentally happen upon a porn website. I distinctly remember wanting to check out a museum here in Memphis called the Pink Palace. I tried the obvious name and got a rather nasty porn site. This would not have happened if porn sites were restricted to .xxx domains.

You also have the trouble with popups popping up infinitely. As soon as you close one popup, two more open up on you. And that's not mentioning the data mining cookies you get by visiting these sites.

Read the article and weep.
