A response, for now

The person who carries the experience must retain meaningful authority over where their story travels, how they are named and when permission changes.

Technology can make those choices visible, but a consent setting is not the relationship itself. The slower work is returning, asking again and accepting that an earlier yes can become a no.

The technology matters. The relationship matters more.
