ASACP Reminders for Mobile During Internet Safety Month

LOS ANGELES — June is National Safety Month and The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) would like to remind everyone to work together to protect children while using mobile devices.

In recent years, the U.S. Senate has designated June as National Internet Safety Month, recognizing the need for measures that organizations, web designers and families can take to protect children online.

Mobile is quickly becoming the main way children access the internet. ASACP would like to remind everyone to review and put to use Best Practices for Mobile Adult Sites and Mobile Applications.

ASACP recommends that all adult sites that have not yet adopted its Restricted To Adults – RTA Website Label to do so. RTA is the adult entertainment industry’s initiative to protect children from viewing content that is age-restricted.

“We applaud those who are working to provide parents the tools they need to protect children online,” said ASACP CEO Joan Irvine.”

“However, we must note that open source browsers such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have chosen not to include a parental filter within their browsers. I also wanted to remind people that in addition to following ASACP’s Best Practices and labeling with RTA, please use a little common sense when accessing adult material on your personal mobile devices and to not do such when children (or non-consenting adults) may be present.”

ASACP and its technology and forensic research director Tim Henning developed RTA out of a need for an easy to use and internationally recognized label that designates content for adults only.

The RTA label is a unique string of meta data which can easily be inserted into the computer code of any website. Parental filtering software recognizes the tag and prevents children from viewing adult content.

The RTA label is free and universally available. ASACP launched RTA in November 2006 and currently more than 2.2 million sites are labeled with RTA and there are more than 9 million in-links to RTALabel.org.

Most of the parental control systems and Apple and Microsoft operating systems filter on this meta-tag. IPhone and phones with IE browsers also filter on RTA.

The current RTA meta-tag operates with Safari, Internet Explorer and can work with any HTML browser that includes a parental control filtering system which recognizes the RTA Label.

In addition to operating with NetNanny Mobile, the meta-tag also works if an adult app uses an HTML page for purchase of the adult app and if an adult app resides on a dedicated adult server that has placed the RTA meta-tag in its HTTP response headers.
