LOS ANGELES (Sep. 3, 2024) — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to honor industry leaders Lion’s Den, Kate’s Tube, and SkyPrivate as its Featured Sponsors for September 2024.
ASACP is a nonprofit organization with a 28-year history dedicated to promoting online child safety. The association is committed to protecting children from online harm with the support of numerous companies, organizations, and individuals.
ASACP’s Featured Sponsors are esteemed leaders in the industry, recognized for their significant contributions to corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and the implementation of technical measures for child safety. These measures aim to shield minors and sensitive users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online and protect the innocence and safety of our children, a cause that resonates deeply with all of us.
Executive Director Tim Henning extends his heartfelt appreciation to Lion’s Den, Kate’s Tube, and SkyPrivate for their unwavering support. He notes that their contributions are greatly appreciated and integral to the success of ASACP’s mission.
“The pivotal role of the association’s sponsors in shaping the future of online child protection, especially in guiding efforts toward age verification to preserve the innocence of youth, is truly commendable and deeply appreciated,” Henning said. “The tools provided by ASACP, made possible by the support of our sponsors, are not just beneficial, they are invaluable.”
These tools include free child protection resources for parents, Best Practices tailored to specific market segments, and a comprehensive Code of Ethics for adult website and app publishers. These resources empower companies to proactively prevent minors from accessing age-restricted content.
Among ASACP’s most notable achievements are its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system, which prevents children from accessing adult-oriented web pages and apps, and its CP Reporting Tipline, which has processed over 1.25 million reports since its inception and remains a vital global resource.
The association’s invaluable sponsors, including September’s Featured Sponsors — Lion’s Den, Kate’s Tube, and SkyPrivate — are crucial in making these tools available.

“We cooperate with this organization to make the internet safer for children and cleaner for adults,” a company spokesperson said. “While we are not content creators, we monitor the site regularly to ensure that we abide by all relevant policies and guidelines, such as 18 USC ‘2257.”
The spokesperson noted that KatesTube.com is committed to improving visitor safety and user experience.

SkyPrivate
SkyPrivate enables its members to engage in live one-on-one Skype calls with their favorite webcam models, regardless of their sexual orientation or fetishes.
SkyPrivate’s premium platform limits its services to registered users of legal age, providing a secure option for adult models seeking to interact with their fans anytime, anywhere. The company offers flexible payouts and scheduling, encryption of text and video calls to enhance privacy, and other special features.
“SkyPrivate unites fans and models, both of which must be of legal age,” said Alex of SkyPrivate. “As a company, we must do our best to ensure that all users of our platform are of legal age — and we rely on ASACP to guide our way in this effort.”
“We’re proud to be Corporate Sponsors of this vital association,” Alex added, “because online child protection is something we should all embrace and support.”
ASACP thanks Lion’s Den, Kate’s Tube, and SkyPrivate for their constant support, generosity, and leadership in helping the association achieve its mission of preventing children from accessing adult-oriented content.
