Action Item: Writing your internet provider

In response to the approval of the .xxx domain by ICANN we need to let our internet providers know that we do not support this domain.


We have Cox and I think most residents in Sahuarita have Cox too. I am writing the Vice President and General Manager, Mr. Stephen Rizley. Cox's mailing address is:


1550 W. Deer Valley Rd.
Phoenix AZ 85027


While looking around on their website I noticed that they have a good program for educating families about internet safety. That is something we could praise them on in our letters. I even read that they don't support having a TV and/or computer in every child's room. That's great! Because when TVs and computers are in private places in the home, like rooms, people are much more likely to come across and become interested in inappropriate material.


While looking at their policies (you know, the list of rules and regulations that everyone has to say they have read, before receiving a service or agreeing to something, that no one really reads) I noticed this statement that could help us in our letter 


Cox reserves the right to refuse to post or to remove any information or materials from the Service, in whole or in part, that Cox deems, in its sole discretion, to be illegal, offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable.


Let's let them know that we think the .XXX domain is all of the above, illegal, offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable, and we ask them not to carry it or support it.
