The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has recognized ImLive, VerifyMy, and Gaelic WWW Conference as its Featured Sponsors for May 2024. This designation acknowledges their contributions to corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and the implementation of technical measures designed to protect minors and sensitive users from inadvertent exposure to age-restricted online materials.

ASACP's Mission and Sponsor Recognition

ASACP, a nonprofit organization, has been dedicated to promoting online child safety for over 29 years. The association works to protect children from online harm by fostering corporate responsibility and receives support from companies, organizations, and individuals, including its monthly honor roll of featured sponsors. Featured Sponsors are recognized for their substantial contributions to corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and the implementation of procedural and technical measures for child safety. These measures aim to protect minors and other sensitive users from accidental exposure to age-restricted online content and to safeguard children's innocence and safety in their daily digital lives.

ASACP executive director Tim Henning stated that ASACP’s sponsors contribute towards building a better world for consenting adults and society’s most vulnerable members. Henning described this as an honorable mission that the association will continue to embrace. He also shared that ASACP’s sponsors are among the industry’s most respected companies and exemplify corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and how simple technical measures can help protect minors and other sensitive users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online. Henning added that ASACP’s family of sponsors highlights the industry’s efforts to protect the innocence of youth, and that these market leaders work in unison to safeguard children while improving the online experience for adults. Henning thanked ImLive, VerifyMy, and the Gaelic WWW Conference for their constant support, generosity, and leadership in helping the association achieve its mission of preventing children from accessing adult-oriented content.

In May 2023, ASACP named VerifyMy, Fleshbot, and YNOT Group as Featured Sponsors. For May 2025, ASACP will honor DialXS, ImLive, and Gaelic WWW Conference as Featured Sponsors.

ImLive is monitored 24/7 using a dedicated monitoring tool that displays a continuous multi-window real-time stream of models broadcasting live cameras on the site. Site users can flag any live video chat stream they believe is inappropriate. Explicitly sexual displays are limited to paid private shows, accessible only to adult members.
