LOS ANGELES—The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection has named BongaCams, AdultWebmasterNet and ManyVids as its Featured Sponsors for March 2020.
“By sponsoring ASACP, the industry’s most prominent players prove that corporate responsibility and self-regulation keep minors away from adult-oriented entertainment,” said ASACP’s Executive Director Tim Henning. “ASACP is proud to honor these companies that have demonstrated a commitment to online child protection, encouraging other digital media organizations to take a leadership role in keeping minors out of and away from adult entertainment.”
The support that ASACP receives from sponsors such as BongaCams, AdultWebmasterNet and ManyVids enables it to continue its near 24-year record of success and to provide a range of educational and informational resources for digital media and other companies—including market-tailored Best Practices along with a universal 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 processed more than 1 million user reports to date, thanks to the generosity of the nonprofit association’s sponsors and members.
For March, ASACP honors BongaCams, AdultWebmasterNet and ManyVids as its Featured Sponsors, recognizing the continued, generous support that these companies provide to the association, and honoring their commitment to making the internet safer for children and families.
BongaCams
As a trusted ASACP Title Sponsor since 2016, live adult cam platform BongaCams takes the protection of children online very seriously.
“Since children might not only visit adult content websites but also attempt to become paid performers, we take extra care to ensure they are deprived of such opportunities,” said a BongaCams spokesperson. “Our collaboration with ASACP is based on BongaCams’ aspiration to prevent child exploitation on the internet and we do our best to secure their safety online.”
“BongaCams strictly prohibits streaming or uploading pedophilic content and takes on the obligation to contact relevant authorities if such activity is suspected. Thanks to ASACP’s support, the general public also has the opportunity to report on any questionable content and thus minimize the spread of child pornography,” the spokesperson explained. “The service provided by ASACP is fully anonymous so BongaCams’ visitors can feel totally safe reporting any suspicious videos — and therefore the fight against child exploitation will be maximally effective.”
AdultWebmasterNet
An ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2012, AdultWebmasterNet is a traffic services firm that sells adult website traffic, putting it in a position to work with many sites — and it does so with a distinct sense of corporate responsibility.
For example, the company reviews all traffic requests to ensure minimum standards, such as the lack of underage depictions or even any allusion to them. AdultWebmasterNet also publishes its own set of Best Practices, which include encouraging clients to become sponsors of ASACP and to adopt the RTA labeling protocol — actions that spread the word about the need to protect children online and in mobile apps.
Although AdultWebmasterNet is not based in the U.S., it voluntarily complies with various U.S. federal laws, such as 18 U.S.C. §2257, which mandates performer age verification, illustrating the “above and beyond” mindset of ASACP’s top supporters.
ManyVids
An ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2017, ManyVids believes in ethical operation and in making a difference to help change the world.
“We start by giving our MV Stars the technological tools they need to become successful, independent entrepreneurs in the safety of their own home. We believe that empowering our content creators to have complete ownership over the entertainment they make is key to shaping a healthier, sex-positive society that protects the autonomy and integrity of adult entertainers,” ManyVids’ CEO Bella French said. “We also understand how important it is to protect a younger generation who are not equipped to understand adult entertainment.”
“ManyVids is proud to associate ourselves with ASACP and will hopefully entice other companies to do the same,” French added. “This is the first step in the right direction toward protecting youth and creating a safer community where a healthy attitude toward sex is the norm.”
“The generosity of industry leaders such as BongaCams, AdultWebmasterNet and ManyVids enable ASACP to carry out its vital mission to protect our constantly connected youth,” Henning concluded. “ASACP’s Featured Sponsors demonstrate that leadership and proactive corporate responsibility are hallmarks of the digital media business.”
