LOS ANGELES—The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has named premium social platform Friends2Follow (F2F.com) as its newest corporate sponsor.
A non-profit organization, ASACP’s sponsors and members are among some of the industry’s most respected companies and serve as examples of how corporate responsibility, ethical operation, and basic proactive measures help protect minors and other online viewers from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials.
Said F2F.com CEO Jean-Micheal Veen, "Our ambition is to offer an exceptionally innovative social media website with superior features found nowhere else. It is vital that we do not forget the needs of children’s online safety in this fast-growing industry."
Veen added, "As a rapidly growing fan engagement platform, it’s imperative that we support the commitment to protecting children and the fight against exploitation. Our cooperation with ASACP and its massive knowledge base gives us the trust and confidence that we can fight against CE sites."
ASACP executive director Tim Henning said that the association relies on the continuing support from companies such as F2F.com, which are willing to assume a leadership role in the fight to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented materials.
Henning said, "ASACP’s global family of sponsors take a forward-leaning leadership stance by doing the right thing and taking tangible action. By supporting the association and its initiatives, our sponsors share in our decades-long success at improving the safety of children’s daily digital lives."
Henning added, "F2F.com is stepping up at a key time in the growth of the association, as the platform reaches out to help serve the needs of content creators—something that ASACP does with its new Content Creator membership level. Our industry is evolving and ASACP is here to help guide the way."
ASACP sponsors such as F2F.com make possible the association’s 27-year record of success by underwriting its free resources, including market-specific best practices and a comprehensive code of ethics for businesses, app publishers, and all operators of age-restricted websites.
At the pinnacle of ASACP’s achievements are its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system that helps parents prevent their children’s access to adult-oriented webpages and mobile apps. In addition, the CP Reporting Tipline has earned global accolades for processing more than 1.25 million user reports to date. As with all of ASACP’s online child protection services, these tools are free of charge, thanks to the association’s sponsors.
Henning concluded, "ASACP is grateful to F2F.com for its commitment to the association by stepping up as our newest corporate sponsor, underscoring its leadership in today’s dynamic marketplace. We encourage other brands to follow F2F.com’s lead in sponsoring the association and empowering our mission to improve child safety."
