Triple-X domain names went on sale for the first time last week, allowing adult businesses to register their trademark under an official adult domain.
Dennis Hood, Family First’s leader in South Australia, said there was no good reason why adult businesses should continue to operate under a .com address.
“Family First strongly believe the government should legislate to require all adult internet sites to move over to a .xxx domain so that children will be able to be safe online,” Mr Hood said.
“Any porn site then operating outside of the .xxx domain would be outside of the law and liable to be dealt with by the Government of the day. Filtering software could then block .xxx as the first port of call to block porn sites”
“If they’re as serious about child safety online as they claim then this must be done without delay.”
