House Passes .kids Domain Name Bill - The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday May 21 approved a bill to create a kid-focused Internet zone intended to be free of violence, pornography and other adult material. By a vote of 406 to 2, the House approved H.R. 3833, which would set up an area within the ".us" Internet domain containing only Web sites deemed appropriate for children 12 years old and younger. Web sites bearing a ".kids.us" address would have to certify that they do not contain sexually explicit material, hate speech, violence or other material not suitable for minors. Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) said he will introduce similar legislation. May 22, 2002
