Short summary
Known as ‘the discussion app’, We-Consent records a 20-second video clip, asking users for their name and verbal confirmation that they want to have sex with the other person. Facial recognition technology is used to capture images of users while a microphone records their agreement.
Mr Lissack described how he got the idea for the app last year after participating in debates about a sexual-assault policy at Harvard University in Massachusetts.
With today’s young and tech-savvy generation, the businessman said “there had to be a better way” to ensure that both people involved had consented to sexual activity.
According to the website, the mutual ‘yes’ between both parties is “available only to law enforcement, upon judicial order, or as evidence in a college or university sexual assault disciplinary proceeding.” Videos are not otherwise available to users and cannot be hacked, he said.
So basically you have to video tape your actions now. How incredibly romantic.
Also
In order for the apps to be successful, Mr Lissack believes there needs to be a shift in behaviour and attitudes towards sex first and added: “Societal changes do not happen overnight.”
Apparently instead of teaching women what consenting to sex means, we should all change the way we look upon sex. Next time you bang a hooker be sure to tape it for the government. Else she can sue you.
If this becomes mainstream say goodbye to the privacy of your sex life. Nothing that is supposed to stay covered in the government actually is. Also I doubt this will change anything regarding most "rape" cases. Half the time a woman gives consent she wasn't "able" to give it anyways.
