Taylor Swift Buys Porn Domains and it’s a Very Smart Move
Taylor Swift is now the proud owner of her very own personal
pornography website domain names. The American pop singer-songwriter from
Pennsylvania is now the sole proprietor of Taylorswift.porn and
Taylorswift.adult website domains.
The purchase was
prompted by the planned expansion of the generic top-level domains (gTLDs) set
to be released to the public for claim and purchase on the 1st of
June. The results of this expansion and change being introduced by the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) mean that websites with
adult content that use the domains of .porn or .adult will be separated and
easily identifiable from other sites with largely different content.
The clever logic
behind Taylor Swift being in control of her own porn name is not that we can
expect to see any raunchy content from the 25 year old popstar, in fact
Taylor’s ‘swift’ actions mean the complete opposite. With the Taylor Swift
theme .porn and .adult domains already owned it means the singer has no fear of
over-eager fans taking the domain name for themselves and creating a less than
tasteful tribute to the idol.
It will not be
surprising to see if any other big names and A-list celebrities follow in
Swift’s footsteps and fill in their own blank space with domain names to
protect them from undesirable adult content. How much owning such domain names
will prevent unwanted adult content finding its way online is yet to be seen as
pornographic content has its ways of worming itself around the worldwide web.
In the words of a wise musical man, ‘the internet, is for porn.’
