ASACP Participates in State of the Net Conference

LOS ANGELES – The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) was represented in Washington this week at the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee's State of the Net Conference.

Washington's largest technology policy event, the State of the Net Conference attracted more than 500 attendees, including academics and consumer groups, plus representatives from industry and government, who gathered together to bring technology and the Internet to the forefront of debate on Capitol Hill.

In 2007, more than 50 percent of the Conference attendees were government policy staff.

Now in its fourth year, this annual conference has become the premier forum to discuss technology trends and the challenges facing lawmakers, industry leaders, and consumers. The conference provides an opportunity to discuss key policy issues such as telecommunications regulation, youth online safety, and Internet governance.

Immediately following the conference, the longest running technology policy exhibition event in Washington, the Kickoff Technology Policy Exhibition, took place, providing ASACP a chance to explain the proactive steps that the industry is taking through RTA.

"It was truly an honor to be a part of such a prestigious event," Joan Irvine, ASACP's CEO, said. "We were able to demonstrate how the RTA 'Restricted To Adults' Website Label works to a very prominent group of government officials and industry leaders."

ASACP was one of only ten companies that were granted a table at the conference, alongside of Comcast, AT&T and Linden Labs.

"When we inform people about the RTA statistics they are amazed," Tim Henning, ASACP's director of technology and compliance, said. "Everyone is impressed that RTA has four million page link-ins, eight million hits with half a million unique visitors in December alone, plus over fifty million hits a day to pages labeled with RTA. It has been very exciting being able to share this information."

"With such a critical mass of decision-makers, State of the Net provided a unique opportunity for ASACP to discuss what the adult entertainment industry is doing to protect children," Irvine said. "People were impressed with the industry's rapid adoption of RTA."

Founded in 1996, ASACP is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating child pornography from the Internet. ASACP battles child pornography through its CP reporting hotline, and by organizing the efforts of the online adult industry to combat the heinous crime of child sexual abuse. ASACP also works to help parents prevent children from viewing age-inappropriate material online.
