LOS ANGELES – The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) announced today that Adult Webmaster Empire (AWE), TheDatingNetwork.com and the YNOT Group are the association’s “Featured Sponsors” for December.

ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning said the association’s monthly Featured Sponsors “rank among the industry’s most respected companies and are examples of how responsible business policies, ethical operation and social awareness can help protect minors from age-restricted materials.”

“By sponsoring ASACP, the industry’s prominent players prove that adult-oriented entertainment and corporate responsibility can go hand in hand,” Henning said. “ASACP is proud to honor these companies that have demonstrated a commitment to online child protection, encouraging other organizations to take a leadership role in keeping minors out of and away from adult entertainment.”

Honoring AWE, TheDatingNetwork.com and YNOT is part of “recognizing these companies’ continued support of the association and their ongoing commitment to making the internet safer for children and families,” ASACP added in its announcement.

A Platinum level sponsor of ASACP since 2008, DuoDecad IT Services Luxembourg Sarl, known for its LiveJasmin and AWE brands, “unites millions of users from around the globe via its popular live cam and chat platforms,” ASACP stated in its announcement.

“Because of the unique nature of live cam services, the company takes its responsibilities seriously by preventing children from accessing its sites, while ensuring that its cam models are all of legal age,” ASACP added. “This process starts with the proactive use of an overlaid warning page that alerts visitors that age-restricted content is ahead. Age verification (AV) solutions have been further deployed where legally required in coordination with relevant authorities.”

To vet and confirm the ages of cam performers who appear on LiveJasmin.com and its associated sites, models are “subject to a rigorous screening process” and the company “implements extensive measures to constantly monitor its live content, as an additional proactive measure for protecting minors.”

“As a trusted and key player in the webcam industry, one of our priorities is to abide by sound corporate governance and notably keep children out of adult-oriented materials,” said AWE/LiveJasmin CEO and co-founder Karoly Papp. “We have supported this association since 2008, and we intend to keep doing so.”

ASACP noted in its statement that because of the “personal nature and content of of casual dating websites, keeping minors away is vital” and praised TheDatingNetwork’s efforts to do just that, while noting that the company also has “provided affiliates with some of the best-converting casual and adult dating offers online” along the way.

“TheDatingNetwork.com strongly supports and is in agreement with ASACP regarding the protection of children from age-inappropriate materials and being against child pornography,” said TheDatingNetwork’s Marketing Manager Junior D’Lab. “This is why we’ve been a long-term corporate sponsor with ASACP since 2005.”

An ASACP In-Kind Media Sponsor since 2016, the YNOT brand was founded in 1996, with a goal of providing the earliest and most successful website developers with a central hub where they could network and exchange ideas and traffic. Today the company offers a variety of B2B services, resources and events for adult businesses and specifically for the Webcam industry and performers, anchored by its flagship websites YNOT.com and YNOTCam.com providing industry news, interviews, marketing opportunities and more.

Additional YNOT branded services include hosted email marketing and delivery platform YNOTMail.com, as well as annual events including YNOTAwards.com which awards excellence in the B2B space at TES Prague every year since 2011, and the YNOT Cam Awards and all new #Cammunity model summit in Hollywood which is the only conference in North America that fully supports the webcam and clips sectors of the industry and the models who work in it.

“YNOT has always applauded the efforts of ASACP to make the Internet (and the industry) a safer place,” said YNOT Group co-owner Jay Kopita. “We are thoroughly pleased to continue our support.”

In its statement, ASCAP noted that the support the association receives from its sponsors enables ASACP to “continue its 23-year record of success and to provide a range of educational and informational resources for digital media and other companies, including market-specific Best Practices and a universal Code of Ethics for online businesses, app publishers and operators of age-restricted websites.”

“The generosity of leading companies such as Adult Webmaster Empire (AWE), TheDatingNetwork.com and the YNOT Group enables ASACP to carry out its ongoing mission to improve the digital safety of today’s constantly connected youth,” Henning concluded. “ASACP’s Featured Sponsors show that leadership and proactive responsibility is alive and well in the adult entertainment industry.”
