Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.97,0:00:27.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I really hope by the end of this talk
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.98,0:00:30.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that consent is going to be\Na central tenet

Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.76,0:01:22.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I realized, when I looked around me,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.02,0:01:25.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that loads of people\Nwere publishing graphic material,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.50,0:01:35.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I realized that it was a problem\Nbecause I hadn't consented,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.07,0:01:37.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it was against my will,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.02,0:01:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that it was not about\Nthe content of the material,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.00,0:01:43.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but about the relationship\Nthat I had with the material.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.26,0:01:46.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This revealed to me some issues\Nwith how we talk about consent,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.52,0:01:50.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and especially, how we talk\Nabout privacy and online rights.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.24,0:01:54.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right now, when we talk\Nabout privacy and online rights,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.25,0:02:14.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's really important,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.80,0:02:17.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it seems that a lot of people\Ndo worry about surveillance,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.78,0:02:36.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the problem is, private content\Nis different to everyone.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.26,0:02:48.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Every individual's right to consent\Nneeds to be in focus.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.25,0:02:52.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We cannot,\Nfrom a normative standpoint, say

Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.02,0:03:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or "We decide that you could publish

Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.26,0:03:18.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because we all have\Ndifferent relationships to privacy.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.27,0:03:30.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because who are the people\Nwho are victimized,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.50,0:03:33.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when we use a norm\Nto define something for everyone?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.27,0:03:35.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is the people\Nwho are already on the margins,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.40,0:04:01.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when we talk about privacy\Nfrom a normative standpoint,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.25,0:04:05.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we do is we marginalize people\Nwho are already vulnerable,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.46,0:04:13.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if we do not focus\Non the individual's right to consent,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.37,0:04:16.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are going to end up reproducing\Nthe same systems of oppression

Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.52,0:04:22.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Consent of the individual is\Na central democratic point of the Internet
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.76,0:04:26.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'm going to tell you, none of us\Nhave the right to consent today.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.50,0:05:03.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has made it extremely difficult\Nfor people to relate to these things.
