8. apps and public sex
public sex can be a counter-public -
location data is a key ethical
consideration
• Does big data always provide cover
where sexualities are concerned?
• What do we do with sexual data
during its life?
• What are the potentials and
pitfalls of big data and digital
methods approaches to the
study of sexualities?
Currently, apps that contain adult material
are not allowed in the App Store or
Google Play. Squirt does not believe in
censorship. We are pro-sex, and we
celebrate sexuality. Having to offer Squirt
with no nudity in the pictures, or having to
police what members put on their profiles
for simple profanity or the frank talk about
the kinds of sex that we look for is not an
experience we want to bring to you.”

and responsiveness into being for

10. the ashley madison hack
bots are an element of the non-
human turn
• Is it okay to use hacked data?
• How do we account for what we
can’t predict in ethics?
• Is bot based ‘cybersex’
cheating?
• When does sexuality at/via
work become NSFW?
