At last, a way to find pornography on the internet. You guys are reading the words ‘porn’ and ‘xxx’ and getting really excited, but believe me when I tell you that this is almost 99% technology news. Pornography is sort of besides the point here, so to speak. But click through, anyway.

A good 11-year battle in the Internet Corporation For Assigned Names And Numbers wrapped up when the decision was finally made to assign the .xxx domain code to pornographic websites – which isn’t to say that all porn will necessarily be flagged by .xxx, just that people who type anything.xxx will know what it is they’re getting into.

Wired talked about the less sexy, more government-getting-involved-in-net-neutrality issue:

Neither the adult industry nor free speech advocates are pleased with the decision. “Of course we are disappointed but we are not surprised by the ICANN Board’s decision. As voiced in concerns by speakers at this very conference, the ICANN Board has dangerously undervalued the input from governments worldwide,” Free Speech Coalition (FSC) Executive Director Diane Duke said in a statement. “Worse, they have disregarded overwhelming outpouring of opposition from the adult entertainment industry — the supposed sponsorship community — dismissing the interests of free speech on the Internet.”

And there, I give you the least sexy pornographic article on the internet.
