What is it, even?

dmleong commented 7 years ago

Consensual software is software that asks for the user's explicit permission to interact with them or their data.

Consensual software respects users' privacy and does not trick or coerce users into giving away permissions or data.

Consensual software adheres to the principle of least privilege, where the software should have the least amount of permissions granted possible.

Consensual software informs privacy by design by making sure consent is the default setting and embedded by design.

Consensual software builds social capital and trust with users by respecting their boundaries.

Consensual software asks for permission first, rather than begging for forgiveness later.
