ASACP Honors December's Featured Sponsors

LOS ANGELES— The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has announced its featured sponsors for December: Epoch Payment Solutions, Rabbit’s Reviews and Sextronix. ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning said the companies exemplify “corporate responsibility” and “ethical operation” in the adult industry.

“As a non-profit association, ASACP relies on the ongoing generosity of its sponsors from the online entertainment, digital content and mobile media industries in order to succeed in its mission of keeping children out of and away from age-inappropriate materials,” Henning said. “Honoring the association’s featured sponsors highlights those flagship firms making a tangible commitment to child protection, and we sincerely hope that other companies will follow their noble example that puts doing the right thing ahead of pure profits.”

A platinum sponsor that has supported ASACP for more than 14 years, Epoch is an Internet payment services provider. Epoch, ASACP said, “takes an active, two-pronged approach to child protection. First, by ensuring that its services are not used by illegal websites selling materials depicting underage performers; and secondly, by selflessly providing dedicated service to the association’s advisory committee, which helps set the responsible standards and practices for legitimate adult entertainment and other companies. Epoch also provides the boardroom facilities for ASACP meetings, as well as other tangible assets.”

Rabbit’s Reviews, a corporate ASACP sponsor since 2005, features reviews of adult paysites. 

“Rabbit’s Reviews makes it its business to review countless adult websites and is in a position to understand the importance of protecting children from inappropriate material,” ASACP said. “Through its generous support, it has helped ASACP to carry on its mission of protecting children, while helping to set the standards of quality for adult websites.”

ASACP said, “RabbitsReviews.com also helps prevent a minor’s unauthorized access to its age-restricted content by using a warning page and parental filtering controls. These measures provide a protective barrier between youth and adult entertainment in accordance with ASACP’s best practices.”

Sextronix, an ASACP corporate sponsor since 2010, has an affiliate program that allows marketers to promote more than 200 adult websites. According to ASACP, Sextronix “takes the protective steps of including a warning page as well as (restricted to adult) labeling, to prevent unexpected or unauthorized access — a process it further strengthens by requiring a credit card for age verification.”

“There are many reputable companies that have not yet shown the willingness to take a stand in the battle for online child protection, and now is the time for them to do so,” Henning said. “From the U.K. to the U.S. and beyond, mandatory age-verification and other efforts to limit online content are now accelerating in a politically-charged atmosphere. ASACP needs your help to protect children and the industry.”
