Blockchains are bits of data secured across a decentralized network of digital devices. This technology is currently revolutionising many aspects of human existence. What about sex industry? It can certainly impact the ways sex workers get paid, record consent between partners, document and report sexual harassment, but what happens when in comes to the actual cybersex intercourse? By design, blockchain is “an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way”. How anonymous is our sex history on blockchain? Are we protected as we think we are? Or maybe it doesn't matter that much, as the less we hide - the less we fear? This panel is set to answer these and many other questions related to sex, privacy, and cyber-security.
