These consent videos are saved to a cloud file. If hackers are getting into US government data bases how long before they get into these video files and use them for ridicule, divorce cases, and more. This is more idiotic business ideas which exploits human weaknesses. One more reaction to the extreme, misguided attempts to end sex offenses.
[From article]
A breathy female British voice asks participants to state their name and to agree to sex. Once the video has been completed the voice says: ‘Consent confirmed. Have fun.’ The video is then saved in a ‘cloud’ or server.
Mr Lissick, 57, said: ‘The videos are twice encrypted and can only be accessed by law enforcement, by a written judge’s order or as part on an ongoing sexual investigation by a college.’
More than 100 people in the UK have already downloaded it.

Sex contracts are being encouraged widely in American colleges. University of Massachusetts student Noah Convicer, 21, has used the WeConsent app several times and said: ‘It’s a great idea. I don’t feel embarrassed asking a girl to consent to sex on video. It protects both of us and it is a mature and responsible thing to do. I use apps for everything else, so why not this?’
Sally Bratton, who sits on the board of the Health Services Association for Californian Community Colleges, which represents two million students on 112 campuses, said: ‘These contracts are a very good idea. They take away any doubt or misunderstanding, which is one of the leading causes of accusations of sexual assault. When you have apps like Tinder making sex purely recreational, why not have an app or contract to protect yourself?’ But Jasmin Enriquez, 23, who was date-raped as a student at Pennsylvania State University, branded sex contracts ‘pure evil’, saying: ‘They are nothing more than stunts and money-generating schemes which distract from the real issue which is education. We need to educate students of both sexes. Informed consent is an ongoing, shifting process which cannot be encapsulated in a contract. A contract fails to safeguard a woman who might change her mind after signing it.’
And Susuana Amoah, women’s officer at the UK’s National Union of Students, said: ‘The idea that consent could be given through an app is a really dangerous notion – this type of technology isn’t the answer to developing better sexual consent behaviour. We shouldn’t be encouraging students to equate consent with “there’s an app for that” – we should be encouraging them to engage in on-going discussions about consent and boundaries.’

The 'Yes' to sex app: New mobile phone device films people giving consent to protect users from assault claims - but health workers condemn 'contracts' as 'evil'
The WeConsent app was created by a former Wall Street banker
Uses Apple iPhone's video camera to make 20-second recording
Asks both partners to state their names and that they agree to sex
Critics have branded sex contracts 'pure evil' and a 'dangerous notion'
