What is your source for this?

Should he? Absolutely, his personal phone with this tracking software should never be anywhere near the Capitol.

Dude doesn’t even have a bank account, show everyone the proof that he’s actually using a different, secure phone. Never assume Republicans are doing what’s secure, there is absolutely no proof that they do.

I get that lots of jokes are to be made about the porn part but what really should be concerning everyone is that the current Speaker of the House pays a third party to snoop on every aspect of his phone.

Was he using his personal phone for any of his duties in Congress?

Is he still using this phone with even more potentially secret government information as a member of the Gang of 8?

This is a MASSIVE security risk, who the fuck knows what information this Covenant Eyes “company” is now privy to.

ETA: From a Wired article from Sept 2022: https://www.wired.com/story/covenant-eyes-anti-porn-accountability-monitoring-apps/

"But Covenant Eyes and Accountable2You do much more than just police pornography. When WIRED downloaded, decompiled, and tested Covenant Eyes and Accountable2You, we found that both apps are built to collect, monitor, and report all sorts of innocent behavior. The applications exploited Android’s accessibility permissions to monitor almost everything someone does on their phone. While the accessibility functionalities are meant to help developers build out features that assist people with disabilities, these apps take advantage of such permissions to either capture screenshots of everything actively being viewed on the device or detect the name of apps as they’re being used and record every website visited in the device’s browser."

Emphasis mine. This is exactly what I'm talking about. Dude has this software on every one of his devices and now the Christofascists behind Covenant Eyes and any one willing to hack them, ie foreign governments, has screenshots of everything he is viewing. Massive massive security risk.

Isn’t Virginia Foxx the same piece of shit that screamed at a reporter for asking about the new speaker’s role in the coup attempt?

Just checked, she is. She is engaging in typical Republican double speak and nothing about her argument is in good faith.

Hey Media, stop calling this shit “culture wars”, it’s fascism pure and simple.

This “both sides” propaganda has to stop.

I was, but also who actually knows with these fascists.

People like you screaming about parental rights always forget that parents who don’t want their children taught theocracy or white supremacy are in the majority.

If you actually believe that your child is being handed books with literal child porn, you ought to be contacting the police and FBI immediately, not posting links to it on the fediverse.

They’re planning on passing a bill that gives impeachment inquiries unlimited funds by taking money away from everything that might actually benefit the American people?

Republicans don’t live in reality, it’s very difficult to follow their “logic”.

Not to mention a disgusting waste of tax payer dollars.

Good info, thank you. There’s a number of 20 yes votes to indict that didn’t actually get indicted. I wonder if that means they all flipped.

Uh, she outright stated that was the point.

Allowing insane right wing MAGA states’ Attorneys General to censor whatever content they want should scare the shit out of regular Americans. Does anyone really actually believe that they’ll stop with just transphobia?

Please contact your members of Congress to urge them to drop their support, this bill is straight old people don’t understand how the internet works garbage.

Exactly why it’s so important to have knowledgeable mods that can fight disinformation.
