Re: [ga] Will ICANN be facing same with Dot X-X-X or IDN equivelents? - Craigslist Removes Its Controversial Adult Section

Get over it!  These are and shall remain financial issues. ICANN has no reason 
but to error on the side of caution.  Finance is the greatest of all censors 
and 
rightfully so.  If a guy has something to show and tell and only is doing it 
for 
the money, he had better make it palatable for the masses.  If he has something 
to say irrelevant to making money then who cares who "carries" it.  If it is 
worthy art or comment or satire it will be picked up, if not who gives a ---- 
ooops almost said the poops.

Craigslist Removes Its Controversial Adult Section


All,

  Looks as though institutional/religion based preasure has 
beaten down Craigs list and cowered them into 'Censoring' their 
adult content links/section.  Censorship has raised it's ugly head
in America, how shocking!?  Will ICANN's dot X-X-X Tld's domain
names face similar preasure?  Will/do fast tracked IDN TLD's domain
names or ccTLD's also face similar institutional/religious based 
preasure from the US vis a vis our UN representative or DOC/NTIA
and/or other religion based special interest groups?  Yes, and
I would say those that aren't already, will be...
