Ironically, ICM’s bid to create a specific domain name for porn sites was opposed by both adult websites and religious groups — one of the rare times these two sides have found themselves in agreement. The adult entertainment industry was concerned that the move would marginalize them on the Internet, creating, in effect, an online ghetto if all adult websites would be forced to adopt a .xxx domain. After all, one of the benefits ICM cited in its proposal was that a specific .xxx domain would make it easier to identify adult sites and filter them.
