CANOGA PARK, Calif. — The Free Speech Coalition through its Adult Production Health and Safety Services unit has appointed its APHSS.org Advisory Committee.
The performer representatives are Jessica Drake, Bobbi Starr, Danny Wylde and Steve Cruz.
Producer representatives are Dan O’Connell (Girlfriends Films) and Steven Scarborough (Hot House Entertainment). Performer Nina Hartley will serve as educational advisor, and attorney Karen Tynan has been appointed as legal advisor.
The FSC said the appointees have agreed to a six-month term, as the APHSS.org program is launched and in its initial stages. The APHSS.org website went live on Monday.
The responsibilities of committee members are to provide insight and feedback on policies and operation of the APHSS.org, the FSC said. They also will help develop resources for the program to benefit performers and producers.
“This committee is the first of its kind, to allow industry members to have a part in creating a system of self-regulation to uphold health & safety standards for adult productions,” FSC Membership/Communications Director Joanne Cachapero said. “FSC, as administrators of APHSS.org, are thrilled to have the input of performers, producers, agents, as well as legal and medical experts to build a solid program to benefit the whole industry.
“The members of the committee are well-known in the adult community and active in production,” she said. “We could not hope for a better start to APHSS.org.”
Performers, producers and agents can go to the site to sign up for database accounts and view a listing of testing facilities, she said.
As the database becomes stocked with performer data, performers and producers will be able to go there and verify work availability status.
“We are starting from scratch with this database, so we need the support of the industry to sign up for this program and we ask for everyone to be patient as we ramp up,” she said.
“[I]t is important to be pro-active about self-regulation. It may cost the performers an extra $50 a year, but with that investment, you are supporting your own well-being and the business interests of the industry. So, we are grateful to the advisory committee members for volunteering to help with these efforts.”
Here’s the problem. The same people are running this system and the same producers will have access to ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
They act like there’s no other option. Talent Testing gives the performer an exclusive access to their own test results that can be pulled up on set and shown to producers and printed or whatever. Once that test expires, the access to it expires as well so even if you give your access to someone, they can’t access anything after 30 days.
THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS, PERFORMERS!! Demand options that protect you, your health, your body and YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION!!
The only reason they insist on continuing to use a system that shares protected information illegally so they can PROFIT from all parties concerned.
Performers will have rights and a voice in porn only WHEN PERFORMERS STAND TOGETHER AND DEMAND IT!!
Please Do!!
@DesiFoxxx – You stupid lying sow, WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION is included in the APHSS database? The performer’s name and email address is ALL the identifying info in there. That’s it. There is NO PRIVATE PEDIGREE INFO (DL, SS, DOB, address, etc.) and nothing to cross-reference their name with their stage name.
WHO ARE THESE “SAME PEOPLE” running this system? I don’t see A SINGLE AIM PERSON “running” it. Performer Nina Hartley, who was affiliated with AIM, is an advisor with regard to the program’s educational component.
Finally, if performers use Talent Testing, then TELL ME, DUMBASS, WHAT ARE THE PROTOCOLS FOR AN INDUSTRY-WIDE WORK STOPPAGE IN THE EVENT OF AN INCIDENT? How exactly would that work? Who’s in charge? And how would any infections or exposures be tracked if people are testing at multiple clinics? How?
To whom will TTS refer patients WHO NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION? THE COUNTY?
How SECURE is TTS’ website WHICH ACTUALLY DOES CONTAIN PERSONAL INFORMATION LIKE AIM’S DID — AND UNLIKE APHSS?
Any answers, Ms Foxxx?
You write: “Talent Testing gives the performer an exclusive access to their own test results.” Of course no one ever shares passwords, right. You can guarantee that no one will ever see that private medical data other than the performer? Or that the TTS site won’t be hacked like AIM’s apparently was?
You dumb fuck.
Please go back to what you’re best at, pimping your own daughter, and leave the important issue of performer health and safety to the grown-ups — and actual adult industry stakeholders.
PS Fuck you
Just shocked that Desi did not spin the topic into her being a victim.
Her comments were indeed stupid, and not really related to the topic. But at least she was not going on and on about how the system ass raped her.
lmao Tell us how you really feel Michael
Michael Dark. FTW!!!!!
Desi just got a new smart phone, and Capt. D’s gave her an extra five on the lunch break. Don’t worry, she’s back behind the register where she belongs.
@Fartz – LOL! Kelly tweeted last night that it looks like ol’ Desi is “trying to pull a @slubben, only she isn’t as good.”
I replied: “How pathetic must it be to realize one is sub-Lubben!”
I really enjoy the irony of her past compared to her present.
