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.
Covenant Eyes is what Anna Duggar was using to keep Josh Duggar accountable. He's been in jail for like a year now for CSAM. Pretty sure C.E. is just a data mining operation that uses fundie fear to make money.
What a made up concern lol. He would just use a different phone.
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.
Once upon a time I didn't think a president would hide classified documents in a bath tub or Tweet to the entire world our satellite surveillance capabilities, yet here we are.
He would? Or he did?
If he uses a second phone, does that not immediately undermine the point of showing his porn to his son? Since any secret porn his son would tattle to god about he would just watch on the second phone, yes?
This is a pretty massive concern. He keeps US secrets for fucks sake.
Lol, that would completely defeat the purpose. He absolutely used the same phone.
