Calmara suggests it can detect STIs with photos of genitals -- a dangerous idea | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

You’ve gone home with a Tinder date, and things are escalating. You don’t really know or trust this guy, and you don’t want to contract an STI, so… what now?

A company called Calmara wants you to snap a photo of the guy’s penis, then use its AI to tell you if your partner is “clear” or not.

Let’s get something out of the way right off the bat: You should not take a picture of anyone’s genitals and scan it with an AI tool to decide whether or not you should have sex.

Buttplugs to protect your privacy. But only if you are on the toilet for A, not for B.
