WASHINGTON — The Association of Sites Advocating ***** Protection (ASACP) has penned a letter to the U.S. Congress, protesting its erroneous use of the phrase “Internet Pornographers” in new legislation targeting sex crimes against ********.
H.R. 1981, the Protecting ******** From Internet Pornographers Act of 2011, seeks to tie the online adult entertainment industry with the heinous crime of ***** sexual ***** — providing stiff penalties for criminals, but falsely equating legitimate businesses with ******* enterprises.
“Given the inaccurate portrayal of the industry within this legislation, we had no alternative but to respond with facts to counter this falsity,” ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning stated. “It may be an attractive title in an election cycle, but its presumption is flat out wrong.”
The letter to Congress outlined how ASACP research has repeatedly demonstrated that there are no substantive ties between the online adult entertainment industry and ***** pornography, stating that the association “objects to the malicious and inaccurate characterization depicted in the naming of this Act and believes that ‘Protecting ******** From Internet Pedophiles’ or ‘Protecting ******** From Internet Sex Crimes’ would both be more appropriate and accurate titles for this Act."
