ASACP Clarifies Its Neutral Position on .XXX

ASACP CLARIFIES ITS NEUTRAL POSITION ON .XXX

Los Angeles - (June 9, 2005) – The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) neither approves nor disapproves of .xxx. In 2003, ASACP was approached by ICM Registry to support .xxx. The ASACP Advisory Council decided that such support was not within the ASACP mission; therefore, ASACP does not take a position on the concept of .xxx.

ASACP works with other associations such as Distributed Computing Industry Association (DCIA) to help them be more effective in their efforts in the battle against child pornography. In fact, last month, ASACP launched cpHotline.org with DCIA’s P2P Patrol (http://www.asacp.org/press/pr050305.html).

If ICANN approves .xxx, ASACP would finalize a service agreement with ICM Registry/ International Foundation for Online Responsibility (IFFOR) for the use of cphotline.org. In addition, since IFFOR plans to contribute to various child protection associations, ASACP would accept such a contribution.

On May 17, 2004, ASACP posted the following letter (http://forum.icann.org/lists/stld-rfp-xxx/msg00061.html) “applauding IFFOR and ICM Registry's initiative to integrate tools and technology for finding and reporting child pornography websites into their proposed registry application.”

“ASACP (asacp.org) is the organization that helps the adult site industry make a difference in the battle against child pornography. ASACP recognizes sexual child abuse as a heinous crime committed against children. As a major deterrent to such abuse, ASACP was formed in 1996 and is dedicated to eliminating child pornography from the Internet. ASACP also provides a self-regulatory vehicle for its membership through a Code of Ethics that promotes the protection of children through responsible, professional business practices. Over 4,700 adult sites have joined our cause in raising awareness about this subject.

ASACP investigates and assists the F.B.I. and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) in enforcing anti-child pornography laws against thousands of child pornography sites. To date, ASACP has received and reviewed over 100,000 reports of suspect child pornography, of which more than 25,000 valid child pornography sites have been reported to the F.B.I and NCMEC.

ASACP has been in negotiations with the International Foundation for Online Responsibility (IFFOR) and ICM for it to serve as a hotline for reviewing reports of suspected child pornography and to carry out the secondary monitoring of .xxx sites for child pornography.

I applaud IFFOR and ICM Registry's initiative to integrate tools and technology of finding and reporting child pornography websites into their proposed registry application to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

I also support the online adult industry developing their own credible business practices in conjunction with other impacted stakeholders and support the IFFOR initiative to create a line of communication between the adult industry and the global community.”

“I am surprised that people are attacking ASACP for potentially providing the use of cpHotline.org to IFFOR. Plus, this has been public information for over a year” said Joan Irvine, executive director of ASACP. “When people asked, I told them ASACP’s position and the potential for the service agreement. I will be attending Cybernet Expo (http://www.cybernetexpo.com) in San Diego next week and will be on the "Hot Issues and Problems in the Adult Internet" seminar on Tuesday, June 14th at 1:45 pm. If anyone has additional questions, please feel free to contact me.”

The ASACP mission is to help battle child pornography on the Internet. It provides a child pornography (CP) reporting hotline. ASACP provides a self-regulatory vehicle for its members through a Code of Ethics that promotes the protection of children through responsible, professional business practices (http://www.asacp.org/bestpractices.html). Also, it offers the benefit to its members of monitoring traffic to their sites, which proves to government agencies that these sites are in no way involved with CP. Both of these efforts are progressing very well with the implementation of a new technology system over the last two years.

GreenguyandJim disaprove of it. We will never be fence sitters.
As my Great Grandmother, NeNe used to say, "Shit or get off the Pot"

Take a stance....xxx is a piece of shit idea

Greenguy · 2005-06-09, 06:39 PM

Oddly enough, I do agree with Jim (as he stated above before I read this)

Cleo · 2005-06-09, 06:45 PM

All we need is one simple tag to put on our pages.

No need to be changing anything else and losing years of work, just one simple tag is all we need.

Do the people that come up with these ideas actually use a computer?

Greenguy · 2005-06-09, 07:16 PM

This tag you speak of Cleo...does it have to be on all major entry pages?

Jim · 2005-06-10, 08:44 AM

Fuck fence sitters and fuck fear mongers.

terry · 2005-06-10, 08:55 AM

There's a lot of fucking going on in this thread... .xxx is bullshit. Its also not fair to the thousands of current .xxx domain owners who used new.net. Fuck!

Kinky · 2005-06-10, 09:39 AM

oh c'mon everybody we all know that .xxx is the answer to everything... the sickos pushing CP are gonna reg their .xxx domains and move all their content their and then they will all be arrested PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

AND

how is a little kid gonna type .xxx into thier browser? of course it will keep kids from peeking at porn on thier parents computer, kids can't type .xxx, only .com, .net, .anything except for .xxx

I for one will not ride the fence... support .xxx now so that we can all look for new jobs after the entire biz is stamped out just like in China

NotThatKevin · 2005-06-10, 10:07 AM

I think it's BS as well and I just hope they don't force us to move over to .xxx some how.

Kinky you missed the important part. Right after .xxx goes into effect, Microsoft will release a browser update that will block access to "adult" materials. Earthlink and AOL will add "adult" filters that will stop people from access .xxx domains unless they specifically ask, possibly requiring them to fax in a copy of a drivers license to prove age.

Joan, get the heck off the fence. XXX domains are like custom building a ghetto for porn. Won't be long before someone builds a fence around it and keeps the "good people" out.

That fence won't feel very comfortable in the long run.

PR_Tom · 2005-06-10, 10:37 AM

Said it before, saying it again: There should be a ".kids" TLD! We all know that "blacklists" suck compared to "whitelists". So Microsoft can simply enable ".kids" only on new browsers, and adults will quickly be able to disable that to see "cnn.com" or other popular adults-only websites.

Also, I spoke with my registrar and he told me .xxx wont ACTUALLY be available for sale until early next year. Careful not to be scammed with sites promising early registration before it even exists..

yeah the pre-register has non-refundable fees and IS NOT at all guaranteed that you will get the name you want

Useless · 2005-06-10, 11:07 AM

I would like to clarify my neutral position on whether you spit or swallow. I STILL don't care. Just get the job done, would ya bitch.

Good Day.

Greenguy · 2005-06-10, 03:33 PM

asacp.xxx - has a nice ring to it

rollergirl · 2005-06-10, 05:48 PM

Remember, sites like Planned Parenthood or others with childbirth, or sexuality resource sites will be lumped into the ghetto. This is the admin who forced Non for profit groups to say that Abstinence is the only form of safe sex and made them remove all information of condoms or the prevention of STDs.

Guess the kid dles will have to keep watching Dad's Cinemax after he goes to bed for sex info.. Betcha a dollar he doesn't use his Parental control button on his D'rect TV either.

I wish I was... there really are politicians pushing to regulate pay services.... they want to impose indecency fines on cable and satellite tv and satellite radio... Howard Stern, Opie and Anthony and others in radio have been dealing with all the same shit we are now going thru for years and years

There is also a proposal to extend indecency laws to cable television and satellite radio.

Mr. Blue · 2005-06-10, 10:50 PM
