Plans to create an internet domain specifically for pornographic websites have been rejected. The proposal for the .xxx domain was voted out by the overseer of the net's addressing system, seven years after the ideas was first put forward.

Board members said they were concerned that approval would put the agency into the position of a content regulator.
