    Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other’s internet behavior.

    Perfectly normal thing to do.

    😒

    WTF? If you have to have someone monitor your net usage to force yourself to behave like a decent individual, guess what? You’re not a decent individual.

        He pays talented ASCII artists to create and text him depictions of the veiniest, thickest, juiciest barnyard animal dongs to him 3 times a day.

      It exclusively encourages hiding stuff. Show a decoy phone with malware reporting your behavior and use the real phone for everything else

        Decent individuals aren’t hypocrites. If you want to watch porn, watch porn. Just don’t make a big deal about controlling other people watching porn.

    Isn’t the 38 year old son their own person? This seems weird, even if Puritans deserve all the hate they get

      Unless dad knows it’s going to come out that Junior’s proclivities came from how he (dad) treated him when he was a child. It’s often the loudest crusaders who are covering something up.

      I’m assuming that there’s more we’re not getting (yet?), but I also know, in those circles, they say things like, “If a man can’t keep his house in order, how can keep a church/company/etc. in order?” and that might mean finding a way to keep it under wraps and keep his son from prosecution. He failed to control his son, and he failed to game the system to keep this out of court and out of the news, so he shant be trusted.

      Yeah like, what’s the son have to do with it? Can’t even really say “dad raised him wrong” (not that that’s a good excuse anyway but bear with me) since it’s his stepson.

    Imagine trying to come up with a name that isn’t terrifying and normalizes sexually spying on your friends and family and you fucking come up with “Covenant Eyes.”
