The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed its objection to the proposed gTLD .Baby and .Virgin. Virgin Group applied fpr .Virgin and Johnson & Johnson applied for .Baby .

The Saudi Agency has also objected to other gTLD applications,such as :

.Adult

.Gay

.Poker

.Porn

.Sex

.Style

.Tattoo

.Hot

.Bar

.Casino

.Wine

.Vodka

.Pub

“We are concerned that the gTLD strings will be used to promote and glamorise the consumption of alcohol which, in turn, is responsible for the prevalence of alcohol-related disease and a range of social ills,” said the Saudi government in the objection .

The Commission also said in its objection to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) that the new gTLD .Baby will probably be used in the same way as .XXX to host pornographic sites .

“Many individuals and societies may find this string offensive on religious and/or cultural grounds. We oppose the introduction of this gTLD string on both of these grounds, and because pornography causes huge damage to society’s social fabric. Pornography undermines gender equality and threatens public morals by objectifying and exploiting women. The values expressed in pornography clash with the family concept and they undermine the traditional values that promote marriage, family, and children. Pornography frequently depicts irresponsible behaviour by parties who take no long-term responsibility for their actions.”
