Freshly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has said that he has used a type of porn-monitoring software that has faced questions about its security, privacy, use and abuse.
A video clip resurfaced last week in which Johnson, speaking last year, touted Covenant Eyes, which monitors users’ devices for porn and provides reports between “accountability partners” about whether they’d indulged.
“It scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, tablet, what have you; we do all of it,” Johnson told the panel on the “War on Technology” about the app.
“It sends a report to your accountability partner. So my accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17,” he continued. “So he and I get a report of all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell you, my son, he’s got a clean slate.”
