VICTIMIZATION OF USERS OF AFFECTIVE-SEXUAL APPLICATIONS AND THE CULTURE OF COMPLIANCE

Abstract

The Projects “Enrolla2 Generation X Security Perceptions and Risk Attitudes in individuals belonging to the Generation X linked to the use of affective-sexual computer applications (CIPI / 20/091)” and “The management of desire in times of COVID (CIPI / 20/159)” had as their respective objectives, to study the perception of security, its incidence in the level of victimization and the risks to the health of individuals in affective-sexual applications; and to know the motivations that have led them to use affective-sexual apps during lockdown. Different levels of security were observed in the apps, depending on the treatment of user data, the existence of harassing attitudes and the emergence of a digital drug market. Legally, it is understood as necessary to improve the protection of users, potential victims of crime - individually identified - and, likewise, encourage the culture of prevention or compliance with respect to the companies that own said platforms.
