ASACP, the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection, is pleased to name Safenames, XLoveCam, and Pineapple Support as Featured Sponsors for April 2023.
ASACP’s Featured Sponsors rank among the digital media industry’s most respected companies. These industry leaders demonstrate how corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and several simple technical measures can help protect minors and other sensitive users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.
As a nonprofit association, ASACP relies on the continued support of the companies and organizations willing to assume a proactive leadership role in the fight to protect children from online harm.
“ASACP’s family of sponsors highlight the industry’s efforts to protect the innocence of youth,” said ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning. “These market leaders work in unison to safeguard children while improving the online experience for adults.”
ASACP’s ongoing successes are made possible by its sponsors’ generous guidance and support. From free child protection resources to market-specific Best Practices, and a comprehensive Code of Ethics for app and age-restricted website publishers, ASACP provides the tools that companies need to keep minors out of and away from age-restricted content. Positioned at the pinnacle of ASACP’s achievements is its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system that prevents children’s access to adult-oriented web pages and apps; and its CP Reporting Tipline, which has processed more than 1.25 million reports to date.
As with all ASACP services, these tools are available thanks to the generosity of its sponsors, such as April’s Featured Sponsors — Safenames, XLoveCam, and Pineapple Support.
