LOS ANGELES — ASACP has named Safenames, XLoveCam and Pineapple Support as its featured sponsors for April.
ASACP’s Executive Director Tim Henning noted how these industry leaders demonstrate how corporate responsibility, ethical business operation and several simple technical measures can protect minors and other users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.
“ASACP’s family of sponsors enables the association to raise awareness of the issues and provide solutions tailored to today’s emerging platforms and the protection of digitally-connected youth,” Henning said. “Industry leaders and other stakeholders have joined together to support the association’s vital work because we make a difference by protecting the most innocent and vulnerable viewers — our children.”
These are the ASACP descriptions of its April featured sponsors:
