		<description><![CDATA[We recently analyzed the reputation of a country's Internet (IPv4) addresses by examining the number of blacklisted IPv4 addresses that geolocate to a given country.

Specifically, ICANN approved the creation of the ".XXX" suffix, intended for pornography websites. Although the owner of the new .XXX TLD deems a designated virtual enclave for morally controversial material to be socially beneficial for the Internet, this claim obfuscates the dangers such a policy creates under the hood. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20110823_underneath_the_hood_ownership_vs_stewardship_of_the_internet">More...</a>]]></description>
