LOS ANGELES — ASACP, known officially as the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection, said that AgeChecked, Southern Charms and Porn.com are its featured sponsors for the month of June.
Founded in 1996, ASACP is a non-profit organization dedicated to online child protection.
“ASACP’s featured sponsors represent the cream of the crop of true industry leaders, and we are proud to recognize their contributions towards protecting children,” ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning said.
“The association and its small but extremely dedicated staff make the most of the support it receives from its sponsors, delivering great value for society as we strive to end online child exploitation and build a better future, making sponsorship a socially significant and truly profitable venture.”
Henning said that ASACP’s unparalleled record of achievement is highlighted by its child exploitation tipline, which has received numerous global awards for successfully processing more than 1 million CP reports, along with its widely applauded Restricted To Adults (RTA) meta label that helps filter age-restricted materials to protect vulnerable youth.
The group also offers a digital media market-specific best practices and a universal code of ethics that guides companies towards child-safe operation.
“This month, ASACP would like to thank AgeChecked, Southern Charms, and Porn.com, for their ongoing generous support of the association and for the efforts of these industry leaders to make the internet a safer place for children living their daily digital lives,” Henning said.
AgeChecked
ASACP’s exclusive Diamond Sponsor since 2017, AgeChecked provides online age verification to businesses with age-restricted content or products. The company’s services enable adult website owners to easily and effectively comply with a growing global trend towards mandatory online age verification.
“Our mission is to provide businesses with a service that is barely noticeable to the user, whilst meeting the full requirements of the law,” AgeChecked CEO Alastair Graham explains.
AgeChecked offers fast verifications, the widest customer choice of verification methods, and automatic logins for customers who have previously been verified with AgeChecked or partner companies.
“The goals of AgeChecked and ASACP are strongly aligned. Both our organizations work to promote child protection online,” Graham says. “The ASACP has a fantastic track record of doing that over many years and we are happy to support this hard-working charity and the work that it does worldwide.”
Southern Charms
An ASACP Title Sponsor since 2003, amateur porn powerhouse Southern Charms is one of the world’s largest sites, with more than two decades of experience in providing women over the age of 18 with an opportunity to have their own website. Accessible to adults only, Southern Charms takes pride in being a clean site that features age-verified models with releases on file for each performer.
“You will not find any obscene material [or any underage models] at all on Southern Charms. You will only find clean adult amateur fun,” explains a company rep. “Please rest assured that if someone communicates to us that they are interested in underage pictures of models, we will report it to the appropriate authorities immediately.”
In addition to its support of ASACP, Southern Charms backs up its business philosophy by making use of RTA labeling and a clean warning page, as well as by securing explicit content within its premium members’ area.
Porn.com
A consistent supporter of the association’s mission, Porn.com has been an ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2008 and is considered by fans to be one of the internet’s top destinations for adult-oriented videos and more.
Operating a video “tube” site that receives submissions from registered content partners, Porn.com bypasses many of the questionable content issues associated with tube sites that allow uploads from anonymous users; which often consist of unauthorized postings of copyrighted material or depictions of underage models.
By controlling the sources of its content, Porn.com provides proof that adult tube sites can operate successfully without having to take a blind eye towards the type of materials they publish.
“From leaders in age verification to providers of adult content and beyond, ASACP’s Featured Sponsors demonstrate the ways in which responsible companies support online child protection,” Henning concludes. “This commitment to doing the right thing deserves the admiration of everyone, and should serve as an example for their corporate peers to follow.”
