Senators renew call for .xxx domains | CNET News.com: "On Thursday, two Senate Democrats, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Max Baucus of Montana, introduced a bill called the 'Cyber Safety for Kids Act of 2006.' The 11-page measure would require the U.S. Department of Commerce to work with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the nonprofit organization that oversees domain names, to develop plans for a domain name system that would house material deemed 'harmful to minors.'

That material, according to the bill, includes any 'communication,' image, article, recording or other 'obscene' matter, including actual or simulated sexual acts and 'lewd exhibition of the genitals or post-pubescent female breast.'

'By corralling pornography in its own domain, our bill provides parents with the ability to create a 'do not enter zone' for their kids,' Pryor said in a statement."
