LOS ANGELES – The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is giving a big shout-out to XLoveCam, Gamma Entertainment, and LetsDoeIt, recognizing them as Featured Sponsors for March 2025. This non-profit has been on a mission for nearly three decades, working to keep kids safe online, and it’s all thanks to the backing of companies who are serious about protecting young eyes from adult content.
Why This Matters Now: A Safer Internet for All
In an age where kids are more connected than ever, the work ASACP does is super important. They provide free resources for parents and develop “Best Practices” and a Code of Ethics for websites and apps to prevent minors from stumbling upon adult material. It’s a collaborative effort, and these sponsors are stepping up to the plate.
ASACP’s Executive Director, Tim Henning, couldn’t be more grateful. He stated, “We are extremely thankful for our dedicated sponsors who play a crucial role in creating a safer future through online child protection. Their commitment to promoting age assurance helps preserve the innocence of our youth.” He emphasized that the free tools ASACP offers wouldn’t exist without this kind of generous support. “Together, we are making a significant impact,” Henning added.
One of ASACP’s standout achievements is the RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system. Think of it as a digital “adults only” sign that helps keep kids out of age-restricted online spaces. Their CP Reporting Tipline has also been a critical tool, processing over 1.25 million reports.
Meet the March Honorees:
XLoveCam: Two Decades of Responsibility
XLoveCam, a live cam platform that’s been around for over 20 years, is all in on ASACP’s mission. Founder Patrick Koning said, “XLoveCam.com fully supports ASACP’s mission to protect children from exploitation. We are honored to have been a long-time sponsor of ASACP and commend the organization for its unwavering commitment and impactful actions since its inception.” To keep minors off their platform, XLoveCam uses RTA labeling, 24/7 monitoring, and has a strict no-tolerance policy for illegal activities. They’re also using an advanced age-verification app called Go.cam to comply with global laws. Beyond safety, XLoveCam is also dedicated to supporting its models and studios with Masterclasses and weekly webinars.
Gamma Entertainment: A Long-Standing Commitment
Montreal-based Gamma Entertainment has been an ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2006, showing a long-term dedication to keeping adult entertainment away from children. Founded in 1996, Gamma is a big name in the adult e-commerce world, operating well-known brands like Adult Time, Pure Taboo, and Wicked Pictures, and working with numerous studios.
LetsDoeIt: European Pioneers in Age Verification
LetsDoeIt, an adult-oriented paysite network, is serious about child protection and is considered one of Europe’s pioneers in age verification. They use age warning pages and the RTA label to block underage access. This commitment extends to their newer, non-sexually driven site, Superbe.com, which focuses on erotic art. Phil, COO of LetsDoeIt Network and Superbe, emphasized their stance: “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: child pornography and abuse.” He added, “LetsDoeIt and Superbe will continue fighting for this cause… We will continue working closely with all our partners, including legislative officials, to ensure we are one step ahead and lead by example for others to follow.”
Industry Context: A Growing Focus on Safety and Responsibility
The efforts of ASACP and its sponsors are part of a broader industry shift towards greater accountability and proactive measures for online safety. This is happening as regulatory bodies globally, like Ofcom in the UK, are implementing stricter rules for age verification and content moderation to protect children online. Companies are increasingly recognizing that corporate responsibility and ethical practices are not just good for society, but also for business. The development of open-source solutions like Go.cam for age verification is another sign of the industry’s move towards more accessible and effective safety tools.
Tim Henning summed up the importance of this collaborative effort: “Our sponsors do more than just support the association; they actively help shape the industry and, most importantly, work diligently to ensure children’s online safety, a responsibility we all share.” He believes that ASACP’s sponsors and members are key to creating a better online world for consenting adults while safeguarding the most vulnerable. “This is a noble and essential mission that the association will continue to uphold and promote among all stakeholders in the industry as we look toward the future,” Henning concluded.
