ASACP Asks: "Have You Labeled With RTA Today?"
Los Angeles, CA (June 4, 2007) - The Association of Sites Advocating Child
Protection (ASACP) has declared today "Label With RTA" Day.
ASACP urges all adult sites that have not yet adopted its RTA ("Restricted
to Adults") website label to do so. The organization also asks supporters to
help spread the word to other companies and webmasters. Adult pay sites can contact their affiliates and encourage them to use the tag, while companies that provide billing, hosting, design and other services can make the same pitch to their clients. ASACP can even provide a sample email that can be sent to affiliates.
There is already legislation pending in Congress that requires mandatory
labeling by adult websites, but publicly demonstrating that the adult
industry is capable of self-regulation can head that off. The RTA label
offers a chance for adult sites to do just that. Plus, while a new law would
only affect companies in the United States, the RTA label is already being
adopted internationally.
The RTA label has been endorsed by major adult companies, industry attorneys
and the Free Speech Coalition. The tag has also been incorporated by
numerous parental filtering products and services. These include
CleanInternet.com, ContentProtect, CSWeb, Cyber Sentinel, FamiLink,
FilterGate, iShield, Kidsnet (and all of BluePrint Data's other Internet
Filtering products), Net Nanny, Netsweeper, ParentalControl Bar,
ScreenShield and SurfSafely.com.
Complete information about the RTA label and how to use it is available at
www.RTAlabel.org.
Founded in 1996, the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection
(ASACP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating child
pornography from the Internet. ASACP also works to help parents prevent
children from viewing age-inappropriate material online. More information is
