It sounds like you'd need to lie to a lawyer, which (I assume has) legal implications:
Users of this product will be able to enter the identity of their perpetrator into the escrow. This data can only be decrypted by the Callisto Options Counselor (a lawyer), when another user enters the identity of the same perpetrator. If the perpetrator identities match, both users will be put in touch independently with the Options Counselor, who will connect them to each other (if appropriate) and help them determine their best path towards justice. The client relationships with the Op- tions Counselors are structured so that any client-counselor communications would be privileged.

- forapurpose 8y ago> It sounds like you'd need to lie to a lawyer, which (I assume has) legal implications There are no legal implications from lying to a lawyer that are different than lying to a software developer or anyone else, at least not that I can think of. I suppose communication with lawyers is more likely to be in situations where lying has legal implications, such as in legal proceedings. But if you lie on the witness stand, the problem is not that you lied to the lawyer but that you lied to the court.
- gowld 8y agoHere's a potetntial attack that could happen in general (but perhaps unlikely among a pool of YC founders): A perpeterator's accomplice files a report, triggering a process that leads to meeting an accuser. The accomplice then carefully unwinds and backs out the process, and leaks the accuser's identity to the perpetrator for use in other harassment or blackmail.
