LOS ANGELES—The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has honored XLoveCam, Safenames, and Pineapple Support as its Featured Sponsors for April 2024.
A nonprofit organization that has invested nearly 28 years championing child safety, ASACP relies on the support of a range of companies, organizations, and individuals taking a proactive leadership role in 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.
Said Henning, "The support of our sponsors enables the association to shape the future of online child protection. This includes guiding efforts at age verification intended to safeguard the innocence of youth."
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 April’s Featured Sponsors XLoveCam, Safenames, and Pineapple Support, continue to make these tools available and help fuel the future of the association and the industry it supports.
XLoveCam
For over twenty years, XLoveCam.com has provided a live cam platform that offers quality professional service to users, affiliates, and models. XloveCam has developed other skills, including its virtual reality streaming technology with VR.cam and its free in-house age verification application designed to meet the age verification requirements of national legislations worldwide, Go.cam. The company safely serves more than 1 million visitors daily using an infrastructure spread over five countries. In 2022, the site reported 200 million unique visitors and nearly 3 billion page views, with a 99.99 percent positive user response.
XLoveCam founder Patrick Koning said the company is proud to help ASACP protect children through its financial support. Koning stated, "XLoveCam.com strongly agrees with ASACP regarding protecting children against child pornography. XLoveCam is proud to have sponsored ASACP for several years and congratulates ASACP for all its actions since its creation."
XLoveCam.com has set up barriers on its platforms, including RTA labeling, to keep children from accessing its sites, and it ensures that no illegal activity occurs on its platform through 24/7 monitoring and applying a zero-tolerance policy.

Henning concluded, stating that ASACP sponsors are helping the association build a better world for consenting adults and society’s most vulnerable members, "ASACP would like to thank XLoveCam, Safenames, and Pineapple Support for their unwavering support, generosity, and leadership in supporting the association’s mission to prevent children from accessing adult-oriented content.
