No, not truly #floss.

Our games are free and can be shared freely; no DRM.

But, due to the nature of the games, we don't allow changes to the meaning and nature of the narratives.

The games are non-violent, trauma-informed, and designed for ages 11-15. Topics include #consent and #abuse #prevention. We won't allow the games to be adapted into something violent or harmful.

This approach limits our reach - but helps us protect students from harmful content.

The law, which was passed in France's Senate by a vote of 327-0 with 15 abstentions, says #consent must be "freely given, informed, specific, prior and revocable," adding that it cannot be inferred through "silence or lack of reaction."

France redefines rape in new sexual consent law

French lawmakers have passed a law redefining what constitutes rape. The move comes in the wake of the Gisele Pelicot case, in which a woman was serially raped after being drugged.

Our nonprofit group's award winning, prosocial, non-violent video games were removed by #Google.

🤥 They claimed that we had misled them by classifying them as #educational. Google purported to know more about our work than we do.

🎮 Our free games about #consent and #healthyrelationships were unilaterally removed from Google Play, making it much tougher for us to reach and help young people.

🧡 The ubiquity of smartphones make game marketplaces a necessary channel for us to reach #adolescents directly.

To anyone with questions about Meta's Ray-Ban glasses and how this is problematic for privacy and consent, I highly recommend reading this excellent article from Janus Rose at The Verge:

"“One way to think about it is protecting your community and the people you care about,” said Gilliard. “When you’re wearing these glasses, when you use your video doorbell, when you record everyone’s conversations, you’re not just surveilling yourself. And there’s no consistent and foolproof way to guarantee that information won’t be used against people you care about — to hurt trans and queer people, or hurt immigrant communities. I wish people would think about it in those terms instead of ‘did my package get delivered.’”

I see so many people (mostly men, this isn't random) talking about how Meta's Ray-Ban glasses are "incredible" or "still not ready" yet, I don't see anyone calling it what it is:
Voyeurism.

This technology will increase voyeurism and stalking aggressions in unacceptable ways. These glasses are a voyeur's dream weapon. Also a doxxer's and stalker's dream weapon.

Why are our laws and cultures not protecting us against this?

If a device is recording you and everyone around you,

And is sharing all this data with a corporation outside of your control,

It is not a "smart" device,
It is a spying device.

At the very least, you are ethically required to not inflict this surveillance upon others without prior explicit consent.

Trust is always revocable.

If you liked a product or piece of software, and it becomes worse, changes the conditions, adds spying functions, you can change your mind and stop trusting and using it.

You should always re-adjust your judgment when receiving new information.

This is applicable to products, platforms, companies, political parties, and people.

Delegation and consent were designed to protect trust. But when incentives reward broad permissions and dark-pattern “consent,” who really benefits? In my latest post, I dig into scope creep, admin approvals, and why users are left holding the bill.

If you even just think about buying Meta's Ray-Ban Glasses that record everyone around you without consent,
I will judge you as a creep, and avoid and report you like I do with other creeps.

Don't. Record. People. Without. Consent.
