People are so fucking weird
Masturbating I get, becoming addicted to something you enjoy I get, using a third party app to try to break your addiction seems dumb but I get how desperation can make you dumb
What I absolutely can’t get is what anyone could productively do with this data. Like, I don’t even think blackmailing someone with this could work. The worst you could say about someone with it is that they had a porn habit they didn’t like and were trying to change it, and anyone rational is just gonna say “I don’t see what’s the big deal with watching porn, but good on you for attempting some kind of self improvement I guess.”
Most people are not really rational, though, so the blackmail would still work very well.
Oh No NaKeD mAmMaLs
I’d imagine someone who watches something illegal would be judged pretty harshly by their peers even if you can’t deny that they were trying to seek help. Like, if someone were to seek help for homocidal thoughts, and their employer and friends found out, I can’t imagine they’d have a job and many friends left. If there are any influential people who used this app, and were into some unsavory things, I could definitely see there being some blackmail going on.
Repression is what does it. Check out Japan after our puritanical takeover. They’re… different now.
