That 57-billion dollars is most likely the reason Congress has for years shunned requests to create the xxx domain to go along with com, gov, org, net and the others. It would be too easy to filter by parents, businesses and email providers if all pornographic sites were relegated to xxx domains.

I think you're right. And when a social conservative was nominated for AG - John Ashcroft - the fear that he would crack down on porn merchants made him subject to a firestorm of hate from Feinstein, Feingold, Shumer and other front-people for degeneracy, on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Agreed, but these were Republican Congresses and they should have made it law. They wouldn't be shutting down sites, just relegating them to one part of cyberspace. It's no different than cities zoning areas for residential, business, commercial, and even adult businesses.
