[Year 12 IT Apps] Here comes .XXX

[ken price]

It's interesting to wonder whether this new domain will be adopted
voluntarily well enough to make web filtering almost trivial.

If the various "industries" that ought to be in the .xxx domain actually
self-regulated and moved there, this could be beneficial both to them and to
education.

Or - they could totally ignore the new domain. We'll see.
