The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has named Southern Charms, Dating Gold, and GFY as its Featured Sponsors for September 2023. This announcement highlights the ongoing support from these companies in ASACP's mission to protect children from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online.

ASACP's Mission and Sponsor Recognition

ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning stated that the association is grateful for the guidance, inspiration, and support it receives from its sponsors. Henning emphasized that this exchange of ideas and resources is a key element in ASACP's success in protecting children from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online. He also noted that ASACP's sponsors are building a better future for the industry and society’s vulnerable members, encouraging others to support these efforts.

In a separate announcement, ASACP named Fleshlight, Fleshbot, and GFY as its featured sponsors for October. Henning stated that ASACP’s sponsors are among the industry’s most respected companies and exemplify corporate responsibility and ethical business practices. He added that simple technical measures can help protect minors and other sensitive users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online. Henning also said that sponsors’ dedication to age assurance helps protect the innocence of youth, and that the free tools, education, and outreach ASACP provides would not be possible without their support, noting that together, they are making a difference.

ASACP also announced Southern Charms, Rabbit’s Reviews, and Segpay as its Featured Sponsors for September in a separate report. A representative explained that ASACP’s Featured Sponsors serve as examples of how corporate responsibility, ethical operation, and proactive measures help protect minors and other viewers from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online. Henning shared that the nonprofit association’s success relies on continued support from market-leading companies and organizations that work to keep minors away from adult-oriented materials. He explained that ASACP’s sponsors promote online child safety and help protect the innocence of youth by taking steps to restrict access to their apps and sites. Henning added that by educating publishers and stakeholders about the need for these measures and how they can be implemented across digital media platforms, ASACP continues to make a positive difference in the daily digital lives of minors. A representative also stated that the support ASACP receives from sponsors, including Southern Charms, Rabbit’s Reviews, and Segpay, powers its 25-year record of success and enables its free child protection resources, such as market-specific Best Practices and a Code of Ethics for businesses, app publishers, and operators of age-restricted websites.

Featured Sponsors for September 2023

Southern Charms

Southern Charms has been an ASACP Title Sponsor since 2003. The amateur porn portal is described as one of the world’s largest sites, with over 25 years of experience in providing women over 18 years old with an opportunity to have their own customized website. Southern Charms is accessible to adults only and states it is a clean site featuring age-verified models with releases on file for each performer. A company representative stated that obscene material or underage models are not found on Southern Charms, only clean adult amateur fun. The representative also said that if someone communicates an interest in underage pictures of models, it will be reported to the appropriate authorities immediately. In addition to its support of ASACP, Southern Charms uses RTA labeling, a clean warning page, and secures explicit content within its premium members’ area.

DatingGold

DatingGold has been an ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2007. The casual dating and webcam affiliate program demonstrates its commitment to protecting children by including the RTA label on its flagship cam site WebCamClub and dating site AmateurMatch. DatingGold also offers other niche cam and dating sites, as well as co-branded affiliate sites. ASACP holds its sponsors to ethical standards, and cam and dating sites have additional membership requirements due to user-generated content produced outside commercial channels, which regulate a performer’s proof of age.
