The first thing to say about Covenant Eyes, the anti-porn phone app used by House speaker Mike Johnson, is that it did change my relationship with pornography. It dramatically increased the amount of time I spent thinking about it.
There is no suggestion that Johnson, who is second in line to the presidency, consumes a problematic amount of pornography. But it makes sense that the Republican, an outspoken Christian who has described his worldview as go pick up a Bible, would be drawn to the app, given Covenant Eyes is also keen on religion.
The app works when it does work by taking screenshots of whatever you're looking at on your phone a couple of times a minute, and feeding the results into its system. From there, AI technology decides what constitutes regular phone use and what it deems to be pornographic incursions.
