LOS ANGELES—The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is honoring industry leaders Lion’s Den, Kate’s Tube, and SkyPrivate as its Featured Sponsors for September 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 has extended his appreciation to Lion’s Den, Kate’s Tube, and SkyPrivate for their support. He noted that their contributions are greatly appreciated and integral to the success of ASACP’s mission.
Said Henning, "The pivotal role of the association’s sponsors in shaping the future of online child protection, especially in guiding efforts toward age verification to preserve the innocence of youth, is truly commendable and deeply appreciated. The tools provided by ASACP, made possible by the support of our sponsors, are not just beneficial, they are invaluable."
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 September’s Featured Sponsors Lion’s Den, Kate’s Tube, and SkyPrivate are crucial in making these tools available.
