ASACP, the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection, is pleased to ring in the new year by naming industry leaders Epoch, AWEmpire, and AdultWebmasterNet as its first Featured Sponsors for 2022.

Among the industry’s most respected companies, ASACP’s Featured Sponsors serve as inspiring examples of how corporate responsibility, ethical business operation, and a range of simple, proactive measures help protect minors and other online users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials.

According to ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning, the nonprofit association’s ongoing success relies on the continuing support from companies and organizations willing to assume a proactive, leadership role in the fight to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented materials.

“As the association enters its 26th year, we rely on the relationships we’ve built in the past to help us move forward into the future,” Henning said. “By supporting ASACP and its initiatives, our family of sponsors enables us to raise awareness and to provide solutions across the growing range of digital media platforms and the emerging virtual worlds and mobile arenas that provide new technical challenges.”

“It is only through expanding and nurturing our partnerships and programs that the association can continue to improve the safety of children’s daily digital lives as the challenges and opportunities of new platforms unfolds,” Henning added. “Now is the time for established industry players and novel newcomers alike to follow the leaders and get onboard with ASACP and the incredible work that it does.”

ASACP relies on the generous guidance and support from sponsors, such as Epoch, AWEmpire, and AdultWebmasterNet, to enable its enviable record of success. These successes include the release of free child protection resources such as market-specific Best Practices along with a comprehensive Code of Ethics for businesses, app publishers, and all operators of age-restricted websites.

At the pinnacle of ASACP’s achievements are its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system that helps prevent children’s access to adult-oriented web pages; and its CP Reporting Tipline, which has processed more than 1 million reports.

As with all of ASACP’s services, these tools are free of charge, thanks to the ongoing generosity of the association’s family of sponsors — including January’s Featured Sponsors, Epoch, AWEmpire, and AdultWebmasterNet.
