I can totally see the value in that, but I also worry it might result in a “blank cheque” situation where rape allegations are dismissed because one party consented on an app and the other took that as free rein to do whatever.

But you’re right. The other side is potentially protecting people from false allegations.

The issue with this is that consent can be withdrawn at any point. You don’t just agree to have sex and you’re good for the night. Consent is a constant thing.
