Our violence-prevention games were removed by Google Play years ago.*

It's great to know folks will still be able to sideload these free award-winning games. 🧡Adolescents around the world will be helped by this.

Trust your instincts. If something feels off, it usually is. You do not owe anyone access, attention, or tolerance of behaviour that crosses your boundaries.

▪️ Prevention is possible
▪️ Communities play a central role in creating safety

@Mer__edith No, thank you. Please don’t.

Behind every app that won’t take “no” for an answer, there’s a developer that doesn’t understand the concept of consent.

This is a legacy anti-feature, implemented at a time before Signal’s new leadership. I expect better, going forward.

#signal #hostileDesign #theOppositeOfYesIsNo #consent

@Mer__edith Oh, and would you look at that, right on cue…

The opposite of “yes” is “no”, not “not now” or “ask me later”.

'How to Blorrble-Blobble' illustrates how games can be more than mere entertainment as this fun game about learning to dance teaches young people about consent at the same time. 🕺
