The conservative group Morality in Media (MIM) announced June 13 that it would "vigorously oppose the expansion of pornography domains on the Internet," WORLD News Service reports. "More porn domains means more porn on the Internet," MIM said, adding that non-porn companies, schools, bloggers and individuals would be forced to by the .xxx version of their current domain in order to prevent pornographers from grabbing it and using it. According to MIM president Pat Trueman, ".xxx was supposed to solve the Internet's porn problem. Advocates for the .xxx domain said pornography companies would leave the .com domain and relocate on .xxx, making the rest of the Internet porn-free. Well, the charade is up. Porn companies did not give up their .com sites and move. Instead, many just opened up additional sites on the .xxx domain, making pornography more available on the Internet."
