What happens when one person dies? Is the other cut off, or is the system smart enough to have a dead man's switch option that lets you allow access if no response is given in X hours / days?

#23Do a external recording while having access and this solution fails.
I mean, that's obvious, right? And yet, this solution still provides a dramatic increase in security for its users. Normally, files "exist by default", and will continue to do so forever. You have to take deliberate action to delete them. But here, files are effectively "destroyed by default", and can only be accessed via: 1. Consent of both parties. 2. One of the parties going out of their way to make a deliberate c…
What's to prevent someone from taking the video of the video? The snapchat question.

#24I didn't notice this issue addressed anywhere: what if the blue adversary/sex partner simply steals the red phone for a few minutes in order to grant access to the blue phone? Will red be informed of this? Is there some sort of passphrase that only red knows, to prevent this?

Yup, you can set an in-app passcode that locks the UI (you're asked to set one different from the phones passcode)

I guess you are right, but I think if this solution became mainstream people would do a backup as soon as they have access. This solution will give some false security and some extra security by luck and antagonist incompetence. It won't make that much of a difference.

#27... Or just don't trust everybody...
if you're in a relationship at some point you should be able to trust the other to some degree or you won't be able to relax and enjoy it. there's no watertight way to completely assess the others reliability though, so you're always dealing with a certain amount of uncertainty.
sex tapes can be fun but are something very private, potentially damaging and a liability in case the relationship ends on bad terms (which can happen under the best circumstances).
so without (even flawed) protection like this you've got two options:
a) don't do sex tapes, which is not a good option in case you want to make sex tapes.
b) try not to let a leak affect you, which is not a good option because you're only human and part of a larger society where sex tapes aren't universally accepted (maybe with the exception of porn actors).
using this you have at least another level control/protection that might defer all but the most technologically versed (or at least prevent super high-quality leaks).

#28Why not make this work for files of any kind?
By default, a message could disappear shortly after playback ended a la Snapchat.
But you could store the encrypted version and bring if back anytime with consent of both parties.
