#Consent act 1

Thank you to CAESV (Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence) for inviting us to speak to their coalition.
We shared our free games about consent and how they can be used to teach young people about consent from an early age.
I appreciate this opportunity to do something meaningful on my birthday! 🎁

Listen, multiple men I don't know have dm'ed me saying they like what I've posted & we should be friends. That creeps me out. To me, it's the equivalent of walking into a stranger's house, sitting at their kitchen table & asking to be best friends.
If I don't know you & you DM me for any reason, regardless of how "nice" you're being, not only am I not responding I'm probably blocking you.
Don't dm women you don't know without asking them first. #consent
disability/trans oppression crossover, Telegraph article
Imagine you're having a remote appointment with your doctor for a very personal health issue.
Your doctor is a tech enthusiast, and is proudly wearing the new Apple Watch with all the recording features enabled.
You don't see the "Audible and visible signals for Live Rewind", because you don't see your doctor's wrist on videochat or on speakerphone.
The "Omitted content" safeguard fails to detect the sensitive conversation, because none of the pre-selected keywords are detected.
"What about all the privacy laws protecting me?", you claim in distress.
Sadly, your doctor is unaware and thinks "surely Apple respects all the laws by default?"
The medical clinic isn't informed about privacy risks related to new technologies, and hasn't implemented any training or policies about it yet.
Your sensitive health data is collected by Apple's new features, stored on their servers, blissfully unaware of the infringements to your consent, your privacy, and all the laws supposed to protect you.
This is only one scenario of the many surveillance nightmares we might hear about in the coming months and years.
Brace yourself.
There’s an AI “meeting transcription and summary tool” for video meetings at my workplace that comes with a disclaimer that it should not be used if anyone does not consent.
I never consent.
Last time I said I didn’t want to use the tool in a meeting with a group of people I’m new to meeting, the meeting organizer asked “may I know why?” and I responded “Because I don’t consent,” and gave a blank stare. The organizer was visibly annoyed.
This is a pattern with all these AI tools. Non-consent is perceived as an annoyance. The people refusing to use AI are perceived as the problem, not the AI tool. Consent is an inconvenience, not a right to be respected.
