LOS ANGELES—The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has announced that the premium social platform Friends2Follow (F2F.com) has become the newest Title Sponsor.
The elevation in support status comes a year after F2F.com joined the association as a Corporate Sponsor.
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.
Said Jean-Micheal Veen, managing director of F2F.com, "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.
"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.
Said Henning, "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 the association’s 28-year record of promoting online child safety. It relies on the support of numerous companies, organizations, and individuals committed to protecting children from online harm.
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.
Henning concluded, "ASACP is grateful to F2F.com for its commitment to the association by stepping up as our newest Title Sponsor, underscoring its growing leadership in the marketplace. We encourage other brands to follow F2F.com’s example in sponsoring the association and empowering our shared mission to boost child safety."
