All members of the affirmative consent division are provided with a free copy of the we-consent? app.
We-consent?takes less than 20 seconds to use?and creates a seven year encrypted record of a mutual “yes” 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.
The app asks the first user for his/her name and then the name of the intended partner. It then instructs the user to find the partner and point the back camera of the phone towards that partner’s face. The partner is asked to state her/his name and is then informed that the original user desires sexual relations. The partner indicates “yes” or “no”. In the absense of a definitive “yes” the app will destroy the videos and ask that the users try again.
With a few clicks and the word “yes”, we-consent? creates videos of both parties consenting to sexual relations with each other and sends those videos off for secure storage.
If one party says “no,” the video record self-destructs. Once sent to storage, video records from we-consent? are stored off line and thus away from the prying eyes of hackers. Even the user cannot casually obtain a copy of these videos — preventing the potential invasion of privacy implications of them being circulated.
