Irvine Talks Labeling at GAYVN Summit
Joan Irvine, Executive Director of the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP), will speak at the upcoming GAYVN Summit in San Francisco.
Ms. Irvine’s talk is entitled “Protecting Children, Protecting Yourself” and will take place on Saturday, February 24 at 1:45pm.
The session will feature an update on bills now pending in Congress, which could make labeling mandatory for adult entertainment websites. These include the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act, and the Internet SAFETY Act of 2007. Ms. Irvine will also report on ASACP’s new RTA website label, which launched in November.
The discussion is intended to increase awareness of the labeling issue, and to help adult companies understand the seriousness of the situation and their options.
“The adult industry has an opportunity here to help protect kids online, and also head off possible new regulations,” Ms. Irvine said. “That’s a win-win situation. We hope a lot of companies will step up now, just as so many already support ASACP’s efforts to fight child pornography.”
