The io domain is actually for a British Indian Ocean Territory. I know a startup I worked at had issues being allowed to use an io tld previously, are there any concerns with the tld given the provacative nature of teledildonics?

Edit: Correction of British Territory to British Indian Ocean Territory

In 2013 I imagined this industry as being the next big thing. Mixed with VR, Deepfake, and Voice changing tech, literally anyone could be anyone fucking anyone. Thank you Buttplug, for getting us closer to that dream.

No doubt the tech is cool, but this is actually somewhat disturbing to me. I see it as an expressway for the continued objectification of women, and an easy way for false nudes to begin spreading around. Even if they aren't real, they still violate the most intimate form of privacy.

Maybe this is just me.

> I see it as an expressway for the continued objectification of women

Why? And do you also see it as an expressway for the objectification of men? Of not, why not?

Ironically I think you are the one objectifying women by implying those devices are only for pleasuring women.

I wonder if you can use this for a setup that cooks and cleans, then I will buy all the components. Should be possible with an IoT enabled washer, dishwasher, vacuum, and oven.
