“Protection on that Erection?”: Discourses of Accountability & Compromising Participation in ...
summary
A location‑based review app called Condom Token Finder is built from an “app movement” process but a user‑voted title, Protection on that Erection, is vetoed by the sexual health service; researchers run three focus groups and three interviews with workers and find workers position themselves as gatekeepers, describe young people as “mischievous/misguided,” and portray technology as corrupting. The app is adopted into service workflows mainly as a staff tool rather than a youth‑driven resource, showing participatory design is compromised by organizational control.
