Kenya To Block .XXX

May 3, 2011 by Michael Berkens

According to Xbiz.com,  “Kenya’s government announced today that it has rejected .XXX to operate in its country”

“Communications Secretary Bitange Ndemo said Kenya would not certify the sponsored top-level domain that was recently approved by the ICANN.”

“We are not going to allow .XXX in this country; it’s actually a certificate for people to watch pornography,” Ndemo said.

“Some countries have that freedom but parents have the responsibility of stopping their children from accessing these sites,” Ndemo said. “Most parents in Kenya are not Internet savvy unlike their children so such material would not be controlled.”

If you check out the Xbiz link above you can watch a video of the Communications Secretary chatting about blocking .xxx

    as I’ve always said, the xxx porn sites will be very easy to block at providers’ level, just blocking the full xxx TLD

    I think that many other countries will do that, so, the xxx domains business, may become soon a big flop with a giant loss of money for all the domainers that will invest in this TLD

    they’d better buy a couple million dollar domains (like Quotes.com….) and build a few affiliate legit businesses. they chose to spend years of time and millions of $
