LOS ANGELES—The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has recognized industry leaders Cam4, iWantClips, and Pineapple Support as its Featured Sponsors for November 2024.
ASACP is a nonprofit organization that has worked for nearly 28 years to promote online child safety. It relies on the support of companies, organizations, and individuals committed to protecting children from online harm.
ASACP’s Featured Sponsors are industry members and companies who have demonstrated corporate responsibility and ethical business practices and deploy technical measures that protect minors and sensitive users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.
Executive director Tim Henning thanks Cam4, iWantClips, and Pineapple Support for their support.
Said Henning, "The crucial role of the association’s sponsors in shaping the future of online child protection, particularly in promoting age verification to safeguard the innocence of young people, is commendable and greatly appreciated. The tools provided by ASACP, made possible by our sponsors’ support, are not just beneficial; they are invaluable."
The 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 November’s Featured Sponsors Cam4, iWantClips, and Pineapple Support, are crucial in making these tools available.
Cam4
As a Title Sponsor and Advisory Council Member of ASACP since 2012, Cam4.com is committed to safeguarding minors across the platform's webcam live functionalities and online content, ensuring that underage individuals cannot access these platforms or misrepresent their age to become paid creators.
The global scope of Cam4 requires documentation standards across jurisdictions, ensuring that all participants and viewers are of verified legal age. Recognizing online platforms’ unique challenges, Cam4 has integrated ASACP’s guidelines and best practices designed for live cam site operators.
Additional safeguards, such as RTA labeling and warning page alerts, further block minors from accessing the site. Cam4 prohibits and actively reports any CP activity to authorities, with full cooperation in prosecution.
iWantClips
iWantClips is a fetish content platform that promotes female empowerment and space for creators to showcase their content to a global audience. The platform uses security measures to ensure creators’ and fans’ privacy and protection.
A company spokesperson said, "At iWantClips, we are committed to upholding a secure and ethical digital environment for adult content. Our partnership with ASACP as a Corporate Sponsor reflects our dedication to keeping age-restricted content only accessible to those of legal age."
Pineapple Support
An In-Kind Media Sponsor since 2019, Pineapple Support Society provides free and subsidized professional therapy, counseling, and emotional support services for all persons working in the online adult industry regardless of gender, ethnic origin, social status, age, or sexual orientation.
Pineapple Support’s growing team of sex-worker-friendly therapists is spread over five continents and speaks 23 languages. Resources include one-on-one therapy sessions, weekly support groups, workshops, well-being events, webinars, and free, anonymous, 24/7 emotional support.
Pineapple Support Society is a registered U.S. 501c3 nonprofit organization that raises funds to help with professional mental health care costs for those who need it.

ASACP thanks Cam4, iWantClips, and Pineapple Support for their consistent generosity and leadership in helping the association achieve its mission of preventing children from accessing adult-oriented content.
Henning concluded, "Our sponsors’ contributions do more than just support the association; they help shape the industry and, most importantly, ensure children’s online safety — a responsibility we all share. ASACP’s sponsors play a vital role in creating a better world for consenting adults and the most vulnerable members of society. This is a noble mission that the association will continue to uphold and promote among all industry stakeholders."
