Resurfaced comments in which new House Speaker Mike Johnson talked about how he and his son monitor each other’s online activity using “accountability software” have raised questions about national security.
Johnson, a Republican who was first elected to Congress in 2016, spoke in 2022 about how he installed software called Covenant Eyes on his devices during a panel called “War on Technology” at Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, Louisiana, Rolling Stone reported.
According to a clip first posted on X, formerly Twitter, by a user called Receipt Maven, Johnson spoke about how the subscription-based service helps people abstain from internet porn and “objectionable” websites.
Could an HOA in Utah (or a similar [busy]body) actually enforce shit like this?
Edit: or, like, condos?
You’ve no idea what’s it’s like. Remember the movie “Stepford Wives?” Everyone has a placid “everything is fine” look on their face because the church demands it here - conform, or suffer the consequences. I’ve seen so many lives destroyed by the mormons. They framed a mormon friend of mine over some joke he made, they turned him into the police as a child molester (because his wife does operate a child care center) and they trumped up charges, and took his property away from him. Yet in court he was found absolutely not guilty of any wrong doing - yet by then, his life was utterly ruined. You think Mormons are Saints? Guess again.
Actually haven’t seen, should I as a younger person?
How is that not appealable?
The courts and the HOAs are run by mormons. So is the boy scouts, and girl scouts. And almost all social systems. It’s like being in a prison with walls everywhere you turn. You really have to live here to see how frightening it is.
So you may ask why I don’t leave - it’s because my elderly parent is here and I’m the only child dumb enough to stay in Utah and take care of her. She’s not moveable due to medical problems. I will not discuss my future plans here because I’m sure they do watch what I type and say online. But it’s pretty impossible to get out of Utah once you’re part of it.
I wouldnt ever ask that because I have intimately experience similar but nowhere near as bad (altho still highly damaging).
This is what scares me so much about this obsession with “private” schools and homeschooling: shithead parents so badly wanna sexually and ideologically abuse their children with zero input from society or accountabillity:
That is SO true. That’s my objection to us taxpayers in Utah being forced to fund vouchers for private schooling. These home schools and private schools are just overzealous religious cults wanting to harm kids with their own brand of religious indoctrination. Shithead parents indeed. And they want their kids to grow up with the same shitheaded bigoted outlook.
It really is quite the infuriating racket.
