LOS ANGELES — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has named XBIZ alongside AVN Media Network and FUBAR Webmasters as its Featured Sponsors for January.
An ASACP rep described their monthly Featured Sponsors as among the industry’s most respected companies who promote responsible business practices through ethical operation and proactive measures to protect minors from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials.
ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning explained the nonprofit association’s success relies on digital media companies, organizations and service providers that are willing to assume a leadership role in the fight to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented materials.
"As today’s youth are exposed to online harms at ever-earlier ages, it is now increasingly vital that they are protected from the unintended consequences of living their daily digital lives,” Henning noted. “Responsible companies step-up to this challenge by sponsoring the association and taking the simple but necessary steps to help protect the innocence of youth."
"2021 marks two-and-a-half decades of ASACP’s outreach to the industry and the successes we have had are truly impressive — but the battle is far from over, as new technology and new users present increased challenges for child safety,” Henning added. “ASACP’s sponsors enable us to meet these obstacles head-on and we are most grateful for their commitment to our shared future."
The financial and material support that ASACP receives from its sponsors, noted the rep, such as XBIZ, AVN Media Network and FUBAR Webmasters, power its nearly 25 years of success, and enables its free child protection resources, including market-specific Best Practices and a Code of Ethics for online businesses, app publishers and all operators of adult and age-restricted websites.
Among its most notable achievements is ASACP’s RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta labeling system helps parents prevent their children’s access to billions of adult-oriented webpages and mobile apps and is offered to all site and app publishers free-of-charge — as are all of ASACP services — including its CP Reporting Tipline, which has received and processed over 1 million user reports to date.
For January, "ASACP honors XBIZ, AVN Media Network and FUBAR Webmasters as its Featured Sponsors, recognizing the continued commitment that these companies make to keeping the internet safer for children and families," the rep continued.
Henning said that ASACP "appreciates the generosity of the industry-leading media outlets that it counts among its valued sponsors, such as XBIZ, AVN Media Network and FUBAR Webmasters, which help empower the association’s efforts to protect children by helping us get our message out to the stakeholders that need to hear it."
"ASACP’s Featured Sponsors take actual action concerning the problem of online child protection, and so can you," he concluded.
