Companies team up to stave off porn@kids.us
The development of the new kids.us domain poses challenges for even the most advanced spidering technology, which has limited ability to distinguish content appropriate for children from pornography or other adult content: "[t]here is no automated way to differentiate between a glazed doughnut and a suntanned breast," posited a former spider software developer. "Sooner or later the nipples are going to start falling through the cracks," said another commentator. Neustar, which owns the government contract to operate dot-us, may need its employees to make the decisions that can't be left to a computer.
