Making TLDs for restricted content (.adu or .xxx) would be a super easy way to filter sites as well. To me it’s like putting Playboys or whatever at the top of the rack with an opaque plastic – nothing is physically stopping kids from getting to it except gross negligence from every adult in the vicinity.
Oh, looks like the TLD .xxx actually is a thing (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.xxx). Never heard of any site using it. I guess there’s generally zero pressure to register one.
No, that’s backwards. You want to whitelist, deny by default, not whack a mole a blacklist. Then you set it once and done. Hence the certification requirement to be on the whitelist.
There is nothing stopping a kid-friendly .com that is certified from having that site in .kids as well.
