AFF Invited to ICRA Roundtable

Attorney Paul Cambria, general counsel to the Adult Freedom Foundation, will attend the Internet Content Rating Association (ICRA) Roundtable along with representatives of Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, AOL, AT&T and Verizon to seek answers to important internet issues.

“This is an excellent opportunity for the Adult Entertainment Industry to interact with internet industry leaders,” Cambria said of the meeting set for Feb. 21, in Sunnyvale, Ca.

“The roundtable brings together leading industry thinkers and content providers to explore how best to protect ourselves and our children from the worst of the web,” according to the invitation issued by the Washington-based Internet Content Rating Assn.

“…while directing users to the best quality digital content available, no matter what device, fixed or mobile, it is delivered on,” said Stephen Balkam, ICRA’s chief executive officer.

“We will also consider the current legal landscape and how the many self-regulatory efforts, including ICRA’s, are impacting on this important issue,” Balkam said.

“We have mutual interests here including protecting children and limiting government regulation of content and the internet,” Cambia explained.

Cambria received his invitation after being the only representative of the Adult Entertainment Industry to appear as a witness last month before a U.S. Senate Committee hearing on “Protecting Children on the Internet.”

“I feel confident that this Roundtable will produce invaluable information for the Adult Entertainment Industry to respond to critics and U.S. Senate concerns about lawful erotic content on the internet,” Cambria concluded.
