LOS ANGELES — ASACP has named ImLive, LetsDoeIt and Cybersocket as its featured sponsors for June.
ASACP’s Executive Director Tim Henning noted that its sponsors are among the industry’s most respected companies and demonstrate how corporate responsibility, ethical business practices and simple technical measures can help protect minors and other users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.
“ASACP’s family of sponsors are the fuel that powers the association’s efforts to raise awareness of the need for online child protection while providing solutions tailored to today’s emerging platforms,” Henning said. “Industry leaders and stakeholders have joined together to support the association’s vital work because by working together, we can make a difference by protecting society’s most innocent and vulnerable members.”
These are the ASACP descriptions of its June featured sponsors:
ImLive
An ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2007, ImLive is a premium provider of live interactive webcam services that unite a large global base of individual performers and studios with customers from around the world.
Bridging the gap between consumers and producers puts ImLive at the forefront of ASACP’s mission to keep minors out of and away from adult entertainment. For example, chat hosts must provide photo identification for age verification, part of a series of identification and compliance measures.
In addition, ImLive is monitored 24/7 via a dedicated monitoring tool. This tool shows a continuous multi-window real-time stream of models broadcasting their live cameras on the site. Furthermore, site users can flag any live video chat stream they believe is inappropriate. The company also limits any explicitly sexual displays to paid private shows, where only adult members are allowed.
Beyond these measures and its support of ASACP, ImLive showcases its strong commitment to online child safety by using RTA labeling and offering a “warning page” overlay.
LetsDoeIt
LetsDoeIt is an adult-oriented paysite network that provides online content to adults only and, as such, is on the frontline of the need for child protection — a responsibility that LetsDoeIt takes seriously and proudly advocates throughout the industry.
LetsDoeIt is a patron of the child protection initiative by being one of the pioneers of age verification in Europe. Amidst all the recent changes, LetsDoeIt ensures that all big players in the adult ecosystem move simultaneously to address the rapidly growing changes the web has thrust upon society as a whole, which of course, affect children and minors more than ever.
The company uses an age warning page and the RTA meta-label code to prevent minors’ unauthorized access to its flagship website. In addition, it has special measures and policies to ensure that LetsDoeIt only displays legal content. These measures also apply to the newest addition to the company’s portfolio of websites, Superbe.com, a non-sexually driven product focusing on sophisticated erotic art.
“Even more than being just legal, the most important role of the adult industry is to protect children from a problem that still haunts us today: CSAM and abuse,” said Phil, COO of LetsDoeIt Network and Superbe. “LetsDoeIt and Superbe only work with adult companies and producers who share this important viewpoint and cooperate against this serious matter.”
Unlike some competitors, LetsDoeIt does not allow user uploads and only operates with legally licensed content. They have set precedence in the industry by setting the bar for compliance and legal standards regarding production, making it an absolute pleasure for producers and models alike to work with them.
“LetsDoeIt and Superbe will continue fighting for this cause,” Phil continued. “We will continue working closely with all our partners, including state officials, to ensure we are one step ahead and lead by example for others to follow.”
Cybersocket
An ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2003, Cybersocket promotes gay adult websites to a large and varied audience while providing news, practical resources and provocative, original content for the LGBTQ community. For the past two decades, as an industry leader, Cybersocket has hosted the annual Cybersocket Awards honoring the finest gay online services and providing a powerful example of how to keep minors out of and away from adult-oriented material, in part by using the RTA label.
“ASACP is grateful to ImLive, LetsDoeIt and Cybersocket for their continued commitment, generosity and leadership in supporting the association and its mission to protect children by keeping them out of and away from adult-oriented digital media,” Henning said. “ASACP’s family of sponsors are united in pursuing this goal and represent the industry’s best and brightest. We encourage other media platforms and service providers to join us in building a better future.”
