LOS ANGELES — ASACP, the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection, and its executive director Tim Henning will attend the inaugural edition of XBIZ Berlin this week.
The trade show opened today and runs through Thursday, culminating in the first-ever virtual Europa Awards.
Henning "will be on-hand to discuss the latest trends and opportunities for online child protection and the impact that COVID has had on the issue," noted a rep. "[Organizers] have been generous in providing ASACP with numerous amenities at its previous events in the city, which gather many business owners and other operators from across the broader European region and beyond."
Henning said the "ongoing COVID crisis doesn’t just impact our event travel."
"The resulting decrease in awareness-building, education and fundraising has also compromised minor's online safety and complicated our child protection efforts,” he explained. “By adapting to the current reality of industry gatherings, ASACP can continue its outreach to stakeholders — and today, that means visiting XBIZ Berlin."
"XBIZ Berlin provides many networking opportunities where we can reach out to new operators while keeping our current connections in the loop,” Henning added. “Staying in touch with our sponsors is vital to our mission and we encourage all online stakeholders to assume a leadership role in the fight to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented materials by sponsoring ASACP.”
ASACP provides free educational resources and other tools that make a positive difference for constantly-connected youth, including market-specific Best Practices; a Code of Ethics for online businesses, app publishers and operators of adult and age-restricted websites; the CP Reporting Tipline, which has received and processed well over 1 million user reports to date; and the RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta labeling system helps parents prevent their children’s access to countless adult-oriented webpages and mobile apps and is offered to all site and app publishers free of charge, as are all ASACP services.
