LOS ANGELES—The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has named Friends2Follow (F2F.com) as its first “Gold Sponsor.”
“This is a significant milestone in our shared mission to protect children online,” said ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning. “As F2F has grown, so too has its support of the association and our promotion of online child safety through parental controls.”
As a non-profit organization, ASACP’s sponsors and members are among the industry’s most respected companies. These sponsors are excellent examples of how corporate responsibility, ethical operation, and proactive measures are crucial in protecting minors and sensitive viewers from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials.
As ASACP’s inaugural Gold Sponsor, F2F.com operates a premium social platform that reinvents creator and fan engagement.
“At F2F.com, we are committed to building a premium fan engagement platform where creators and fans can connect in an authentic, respectful, and secure environment,” said Jean-Micheal Veen, CEO of F2F.com. “Innovation in our industry must always go hand in hand with responsibility. As our platform continues to grow, we believe it is essential to actively invest in initiatives that protect minors and strengthen trust across the digital ecosystem.”
“Over the past years, our partnership with ASACP has become an important part of that commitment,” Veen said. “By expanding our collaboration and increasing our support, we aim to further reinforce the standards that help keep the Internet safe. ASACP’s expertise in combating online exploitation is crucial to helping platforms like ours stay vigilant and proactive. Together, we are working toward a safer digital environment and a future free from CSAM.”
The association relies on the continuing support of companies such as F2F.com to support its fight to keep children away from adult-oriented materials.
“ASACP’s global family of sponsors takes a forward-leaning leadership stance by doing the right thing and taking tangible action,” Henning said. “By supporting the association and its initiatives, our sponsors share in our decades-long success in improving the safety of children’s daily digital lives.”
“F2F.com is stepping up at a key time in the growth of the association, as the platform reaches out to help guide brands through the maze of age verification and compliance mandates,” Henning added. “Our industry is evolving, and ASACP is here to help guide the way.”
ASACP sponsors underwrite the organization’s ability to provide 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 is its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system, which helps parents prevent their children from accessing adult-oriented web pages and mobile apps. In addition, the CP Reporting Tipline has earned global accolades for processing more than 1.3 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.
“ASACP is grateful to F2F.com for stepping up its commitment to the association as our first Gold Sponsor. This move underscores F2F.com’s growing leadership in 2026,” Henning said. “We encourage other brands to follow F2F.com’s example in sponsoring the association and empowering our shared mission to boost child safety.”
