LOS ANGELES—The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has honored ImLive, VerifyMy, and Gaelic WWW Conference as its Featured Sponsors for May 2024.
ASACP is a nonprofit organization that has worked for nearly 28 years to promote online child safety. It relies on the support of numerous companies, organizations, and individuals committed to protecting children from online harm.
ASACP’s Featured Sponsors are respected industry leaders who have demonstrated corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and the will to deploy technical measures that protect minors and sensitive users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.
Executive director Tim Henning expressed gratitude for the continued support from ASACP’s family of sponsors.
This support helps the association provide free child protection resources to parents, best practices tailored to individual market segments, and a comprehensive code of ethics for publishers of adult websites and apps. These tools help companies prevent minors from accessing age-restricted content.
One of ASACP’s most notable achievements is its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system, which prevents children from accessing adult-oriented web pages and apps. Additionally, its CP Reporting Tipline has processed over 1.25 million reports since its inception and remains a vital global resource.
The association’s sponsors, including May’s Featured Sponsors ImLive, VerifyMy, and Gaelic WWW Conference, continue to make these tools available and help fuel the future of the association and the industry it supports.
ImLive
An ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2007, ImLive.com is a premium provider of live interactive webcam services that connect a global base of individual performers and studios with customers worldwide.
ImLive puts at the forefront ASACP’s mission to keep children out of and away from adult entertainment. For example, chat hosts must provide photo identification for age verification, a part of a series of performer identification and compliance measures.
In addition, ImLive is monitored 24/7 via a dedicated monitoring tool. This tool shows a continuous multi-window real-time stream of models as they broadcast their live cameras on the site. Furthermore, site users can flag any live video chat stream they believe is inappropriate. The company also limits any explicitly sexual displays to paid private shows, where only adult members are allowed.
Beyond these measures and its support of ASACP, ImLive showcases its strong commitment to online child safety by using RTA meta-labeling and displaying a "warning page" overlay.

The event attracts web admins, media buyers and sellers, program partners, service providers, and others involved in the online entertainment industry, including crypto, e-commerce, dating, gaming, and health, who gather to carve out a common ground for growth in a comfortable environment.
Said Gaelic WWW Conference founder Roland Grotheer, "We are happy to support ASACP with our webmaster conference in Ireland, as child protection is one of the most important tasks these days. Companies working in the adult business have an extraordinary responsibility, and we face this challenge."
Grotheer added, "Let’s face it, we all need to work with trust and respect together. Let us look forward together and discuss the journey’s path and how we can best manage it jointly in a wonderful location in Ireland."
