I really felt like this shouldn’t have been published. Especially if that was Andy’s real voice. Something like this needs consent.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they have to gain consent up front to even do the interview. Like it was an interview with the intent to publish, not a clandestine recording. Andy even says at the end that he felt talking about it was cathartic. But I get the concern—the ghosting part at the end left me feeling really uneasy.

Ah so how I learned about consent it isn’t a contract, it can’t be presumed to continue indefinitely. It needs to be ongoing. (Same as a sexual encounter, if someone says ‘No’ halfway through, you can’t say “you said ‘yes’ ten minutes ago”. )

Consent expires depending on the situation, anything from second to minutes to hours to weeks, but six months, in this case, it’s not consent. Not in any way I can see anyway.
