LOS ANGELES — ASACP, the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection, is pleased to name DialXS and TheDatingNetwork.com as its Featured Sponsors for September 2020.

ASACP’s monthly Featured Sponsors are among the industry’s most respected companies and serve as prime examples of how responsible business practices, ethical operation, and social awareness can help protect minors from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.

According to ASACP’s Executive Director Tim Henning, the association encourages all online companies and organizations to assume a leadership role in the fight to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented materials by sponsoring ASACP and its well-proven successes, including those that happen behind-the-scenes.

“As 2020 races by and the fall show schedule goes virtual due to the continuing COVID crisis, the online entertainment industry is embracing a ‘new normal’ where social distancing is becoming a more difficult to deal with ‘business distancing,’” Henning said. “This is a significant challenge for both our child safety initiatives and our fundraising efforts to fuel those initiatives.”

“Without the real-life outreach to industry stakeholders that the association once relied upon, our educational opportunities have been dramatically curtailed,” Henning explained. “Thankfully our existing members and sponsors are stepping up to carry the fight forward and are making a positive difference in preserving the innocence of today’s constantly-connected youth.”

The generous support that ASACP receives from its sponsors, such as DialXS and TheDatingNetwork.com power its 24 years of success; and enables its free child protection resources, including market-specific Best Practices and a Code of Ethics for online businesses, app publishers and operators of age-restricted websites.

Among its most notable achievements, ASACP’s RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta labeling system helps parents prevent their children’s access to countless adult-oriented webpages and mobile apps and is offered to all site and app publishers free of charge, as are all ASACP services; including its CP Reporting Tipline, which has received and processed well over 1 million user reports to date, thanks to the generosity of the nonprofit association’s sponsors and members.

For September, ASACP honors DialXS and TheDatingNetwork.com as its Featured Sponsors, recognizing the ongoing, generous support that these companies provide to the association, and thus honoring their commitment to making the internet safer for children and families.
