Funny thing is I already thought of two angles that might make people willingly use that:

  1. Sex coaches review your recent experiences and give you advice (good or bad, just like other life advice fields).
  2. Proof of consent so neither party can change the story after the fact. Though the proof won't be at a scientific rigor level so it won't help as much as people will hope, though it probably will clear up some less complex cases and complicate the shit out of others.

    I don't think that audio only would be enough for #1 and for #2 oh god fucking no, that easily can and would be abused to hell and back and that would for sure slam the last nail in the coffin of basic human interaction. Yes, doh, rape bad, of course, but if you regulate the shit out of human behaviour we just stop being human beings anymore.

    Sex is complicated, rape even more so. Anytime I see these "one easy fix" for these complicated issues I get very nervous, it's not how that works

    wtf??? doesnt make it any less extreme privacy violation

    for 1: record it yourself consciously (if youre not comfortable with that then why are you comfortable with Google doing it)

    for 2: there are other solutions, law enforcement isnt an excuse to violate privacy at all, the government is one of the major things we want privacy against

    I didn't say it wasn't a privacy issue, just that those are two reasons that some would probably just accept that shit.

    Just like most of us accept the spy devices we already use because they allow communication and internet access and only a tiny portion of people go out of their way to try to reduce that (though due to how cell phones work at all, you can't avoid the simple "this is where their phone was at this time" tracking, which might be "vicinity of cell tower" or "about right here" depending on whether any triangulation was involved).
