ICANN approves .xxx for adult sites

I see two things to worry about. One is the need to buy the .xxx domains of existing brands to prevent squatters and the domains are ridiculously overpriced. It's just a blatant money making ripoff.

The other thing I see is our stupid government in Australia seeing it as a means to expand censorship. You've got a guarantee of freedom of speech. We don't. I could envisage a law forcing any adult enterprises to use the tld, which would then be mandatorily filtered. ICANN has just made suppressing speech so much easier.
