This summer, new internet address suffixes or domain endings will become available, in addition to the usual .com, .org, or .net. With this expansion comes excitement about the possibilities of new web addresses (!!), but also concern from leading brands, companies, and public figures such as Taylor Swift, Microsoft, and, of course, Harvard.

What’s all the concern about? The emergence of new domain endings, in particular .porn and .adult. Hmm..... Nonetheless, our university has supposedly preemptively bought these up as a precautionary measure. #smartmoves
