Christian group [[Morality In Media]] launched a letter-writing campaign in July 2012 against ICM's three new TLD applications, [[.adult]], [[.sex]], and .porn. The group also protested against [[.xxx]], ICM's original TLD. The group claims that its prediction about [[.xxx]], that it would create more porn and not less, has been vindicated, as porn sites under the [[.com]] TLD have not moved to .xxx, and additional new sites have been created under the .xxx extension.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/9728-christian-group-opposes-sex-porn-adult Christian group opposes .sex, .porn, .adult, domainincite.com]</ref> With its campaign, MIM asked the U.
