This app would have saved my career a couple years ago. Now, when I visit the old office to say hi to my ex-colleagues, I still can't get past the nickname they gave me because of what happened.
What did you expect?

#32What 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?
hopefully the other person is cut off, otherwise the system would be practically useless.

#33In many places, paying for sex is illegal. Paying to make a pornography video isn't. Could this be used to build the Uber for sex?
In short...No. https://www.popehat.com/2016/11/06/private-porn-shoots-brill...
TL;DR: Very long and pretty offensive post that boils down to "because the courts aren't stupid and can probably tell the difference and by the way there are some specific legal requirement that when making porn you need to cross-reference IDs and you're probably not doing it".

#34Ummm, so shoot a video of the playing video. Or hack into the display circuitry. With that, you could stream a copy somewhere, even if both parties were present.
As always, the only way to be certain your genitals wont be on the internet is to not film them. But then again.... that's not fun.

I expected my colleagues to respect the things I do in private and realize I'm just human. And at the very least, if they were going to publicly respond, I'd have expected them to compliment me instead.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
then you'd lose the fully quality.
more importantly: they can't do that after the consent ended. so if the malicious partner starts to do this while the relationship is still intact, you're partially fucked.
if you decide to break up they can't record the video afterwards for revenge or blackmailing purposes.

Presumably, this is tied to access to the phone. If the deceased person has left their phone password behind, whoever has the password can grant access to the video.

#39It seems like a good idea, but won't work.
I can't imagine two horny teens like: M: Show me something hot baby F: Sure! But please install that app to take all the nececary security precautions before we proceed with our sexting...
This will gain traction among camgirls and other people that produce private porn (I just invented that term because I don't know how one would call porn distributed on an individual basis). So thats like, pervware?

Most people who leak sex tapes involving an ex probably don't think of doing so while they are still in a relationship with said ex. By the time they think of revenge, the victim-to-be should already have revoked access. If your ex is making secret copies of sex tapes while you are still in a relationship with him, I think you have bigger things to worry about than revenge porn.
in my opinion this is the main point people pointing out the "just videotape it" problem miss.
