In order to view porn when not on the internet, one would have to get it from a separate billed channel on cable or satellite TV. One would have to go to a special section in certain video stores, order a magazine subscription, or go to a gentlemen's club. Why then has it taken us this long to figure out that we need to separate porn from the rest of the internet?

In a recent article by ars technica named Still hope for the FCC's smut-free broadband plan? They talk about a wireless internet that the FCC is putting out that would be a free national broadband plan, with content filtered out.

I wouldn't be happy with a free filtered internet provided by the government. Now of course I would use it, but a part of me would be wondering what else they are filtering or watching as I cruise around their free internet.

This really got me to thinking, there are a slew of internet domain extensions that are becoming popular so why not section one off strictly for porn. ".org" has always been known for non-profit organizations, ".gov" for government sites, why would it be so hard to mandate that porn get a separate extension? This way little children wouldn't stumble upon porn for the first time accidentally, and those that wanted it would know exactly where to go.

All existing porn sites would keep their existing extensions, but would have a redirect to their new extension with a warning before hand that they are being redirected to a porn site.

Porn filters would actually work and parents could finally be happy. The porn industry wouldn't loose too much money in the grand scheme of things. They are already sectioned off in every other part of society, with all the technology advancements we strive to make, why can't this be one of them?
