    Wait until they figure out that Christians consume more porn than anyone else. They just tell other people not to consume porn.

    100% the outlier opinion here.

    I think they found a market for the average person who is concerned about content online. I spent a lot of time trying to setup content filters to go cold turkey on a port addiction. I setup a pi.hole with some porn list and subscribe to a private DNS service for my phone. All of this is as an alternative to Covenant Eyes that took up to much resources and is very creepy to use.

    For the average person, who doesn’t know what DNS is, a network level filter on the internet is exactly what they want for their family. I think it’s a good guardrail for a teenager. But it doesn’t remove a parent’s responsibility. I’m also ignoring the non-porn content filtering that is absolutely going to get caught be their filters, intentionally or not.

      I agree and I think many people will tell themselves the same thing. Follows the line of think of the children. Meanwhile, you can keep your own provider and use something like NextDNS, RethinkDNS or similar. However, these only “protect” people connecting to that network. People, as we know, use mobile carriers for the majority of their browsing and reading.

    If anyone cares to know, this is the actual meaning of taking the lord’s name in vain. It is taking the sacred and turning it into a gimmick

      In this case, not simply a gimmick. It’s a funds raiser. For which I take two skewed views. First, pure and simple, it funds hatred in exactly the same way that we are trained to fear Islamic extremists. Secondly, somebody gonna get rich, real quick.
