And in the world, there are laws about where strip clubs can be built and where p0rn can be shown. It is not an abuse of the first amendment right. They are not saying you can't show it, just that some people would like to have it corralled into one area. If you don't think that happens in the real world, then explain what happened on Times Square in NY.

However in the real world, there are laws about were commercial business can be versus residential and manufacturering and even churches.

Why would you only require that porn be required to be on it's own tld. Shouldn't then by that logic commerce all be required to be strictly on .biz or religion to all be on it's on specific tld or even politics to be on it own tld. Why would you only mandate what tld porn can be on?

As for an abuse of first amendment rights. How hard do you think it would be to block a specific tld from either an ISP standpoint or even on a browser level. Maybe then the next version of Firefox might have a software block built into it that prevents viewing of anything with a triple x tld. Certain states could require that ISP's block certain tlds. Once that happens and sets precedent, you could have a significant attack and abuse on first amendment rights. The simple reality is that part of protecting your first amendment rights is not giving people the tools so that they can abuse them in the first place.
