Don't #uck with my internets!
Karl Rove and other misadministration officials, working with conservative cranks such as James Dobson, used 'intense pressure' to force ICANN into voting against creating a domain for adult web sites.
"The documents released so far reveal that the United States government exerted undue political influence on ICANN's consideration of the .xxx domain application, and treated an independent corporation as a client agency of the United States government despite a lack of any legitimate authority to do so," wrote Stuart Lawley, ICM Registry president.
So... what'll they ban next?
Fun fact: Rather than write any real legislation, the Senate designates June as "National Internet Safety Month."
