But among the more than 500 gTLDs being added to domains like .com and .org will be .porn, .adult and .sucks (less controversial ones like .healthcare will also be added).<\/p>\n<p>ICANN, which is fully aware of the negative repercussions of adding these domains, is allowing certain trademarked brands and public figures to take advantage of the so-called &#8220;sunrise period&#8221; and register the domains before they become open to public purchase on June 1.<\/p>\n<p>Swift isn&#8217;t the only one taking advantage of the sunrise period. According to Stuart Lawley, CEO of ICM Registry, which operates the .porn and .adult top-level domains, Microsoft has registered Office.porn and Office.adult.<\/p>\n<p>While ICANN has not released the exact amount Swift or other brands are paying for these sites, it is likely to be in the $105-$125 a year range, considering the average cost for domain names through various authorized registrars, such as 101domain and GANDI.<\/p>\n<p>The singer has previously spoken out against trolls who have claimed to have pornographic images of Swift, assuring there is no validity to their claims.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101677\" src=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Capture1.jpg\" alt=\"Capture\" width=\"631\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Capture1.jpg 631w, https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Capture1-300x133.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0mashable.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haters gonna hate, hate, hate \u2014 but Taylor Swift will make it hard for them to do so.
