(RNS) Dua kelompok taat beragama yang berbasis di Boston sedang memperingatkan gereja dan orang-tua di sekitar Web Sitestermasuk dua menampilkan nama hak perseorangan pemimpinitu mungkin memimpin tak mencurigai anak ke pornografi.

TechMission, kementerian seluruh negara yang membantu gereja dalam menaikkan melek huruf komputer, mulai mendatangkan perhatian ke tempat MartinLutherKing.com dan JesseJackson.com sesudah mengetahui tentang mereka di April.

"I think it's disgusting to use the names of civil rights leaders to attract kids in urban communities to porn sites," said Andrew Sears, executive director of TechMission. "It's against everything that they stood for."

His organization has worked with the Black Ministerial Alliance of Greater Boston by holding workshops and distributing information that will help parents get free filtering software to prevent their children from being exposed to porn sites.

"I think it's terrible. I think it's predatory," said Harold Sparrow, executive director of the interdenominational alliance of dozens of Boston-area churches and ministries.

Noting that children doing searches on civil rights leaders could be lured to porn sites, he said, "I think it's taking advantage of young people."

When computer users type the names of the two sites, they get an on-screen message that reads in red letters: "Warning! No children allowed! You must be at least 18 years old to enter!" Another click leads to www.clubpink.com, which features partially nude women clad in lingerie.

In a related case involving clubpink.com, actor Robert Downey Jr. filed a complaint against Mercedita Kyamko of the Philippines, who was cited as the person registering a domain name featuring his name that "automatically resolved" to the clubpink.com site, according to documents of the World Intellectual Property Organization. In 2004, an administrative panel of the organization's Arbitration and Mediation Center transferred the domain name to Downey.
