I'm going to hold off on this to find out if it actually holds up in court. I can just see the defense: "But your honor, she tapped 'yes' on an app before we had sex!"
- rvense 9y agoSince consent can be revoked at any time, I don't see what the point of this is at all.
- ralusek 9y agoIn current milieu, consent can ostensibly be revoked AFTER the deed is done.
- sincerely 9y agoThey even go out of their way to explain how their app doesn't actually solve that problem in the FAQ. IMO they come close to something interesting with the "sexual preferences" matching bit - I'd imagine if they focused more on that aspect of the product they could eventually come up with something that maybe Tinder or Grindr etc could buy.
- tomalpha 9y agoTaking that further: assuming good faith on the part of your sexual partner, perhaps this also has a role in forcing you to have an upfront conversation about your preferences and what you enjoy. The whole sign-here-to-consent-to-sex thing doesn’t seem like a workable thing in and of itself to me either.
- rectang 9y agoAbsolutely right -- that's a fatal flaw. It's good that we're thinking through these issues, but this app is not The Answer.
