ASACP, TGP Leaders Developing Best Practices

Adult Sites Against Child Pornography is working with TGP leaders to develop standards for TGPs to prevent children from seeing Adult material unknowingly while surfing the Internet.

The Best Practices included in the development include complying with ASACP's Code of Ethics as well as clear disclaimers, age verifications, and excluding explicit home page images; no automatic submissions; all submissions and galleries verified by human eyes and hands; visual review of pay sites promoted through free hosted galleries; and no linking to galleries with content that either is or appears to be under-18 content.

Other practices will include knowing link partners.

Until now, ASACP said announcing the TGP Best Practices, Best Practices standards had been developed for search engines and directories, billing companies, and affiliate programs.

ASACP executive director Joan Irvine thanked in particular Scott Hjorleifson of SleazyDream.com and Mark Hurson of Gallery Traffic Service – both of whom will become ASACP sponsors in January – for working with the ASACP Advisory Council and TGP leaders to get input and feedback in developing the TGP Best Practices. "As a result of having these new [practices], ASACP now can accept membership applications from TGP companies," Irvine said.

Gallery Traffic Service sells traffic and online advertising for some of the world's largest TGP/MGP Web sites from their Canadian base. "[W]e take pride in offering impeccable customer service and operating at the highest level of legal and moral standards," said Hurson about the TGP Best Practices. "We are thrilled to join the cause against child pornography by supporting ASACP."

“ASACP is an organization that I believe any responsible Adult company should get behind," said Hjorleifson. "To put it simply, they do good. ASACP stands for something we all should believe in: stopping child pornography. Think about it – even if they stop just one pedophile and save just one child from being molested, isn't that worth supporting?"
