    If anyone cares to know, this is the actual meaning of taking the lord’s name in vain. It is taking the sacred and turning it into a gimmick

    Fisher says he’s […] also done outreach to thousands of churches around the country, offering a way to have Radiant donate a portion of congregants’ $30-per-month subscription fee to their church.

    Gotta fund the jets somehow.

    Depending how they structure this, it’s an untaxed sales commission.

    this won’t work. it’s basically technologically impossible for a cell network provider to specifically block content based on keywords such as “trans” and “gender”. that would require decrypting TLS communication and i don’t think NSA is gonna give them the keys to that.

    anyways, this proposal is a significant thing, not because of the real (physical) consequences it will have, but because of the psychological consequences. this signifies a push of people to regulate the internet more. which, i think is probably a bit similar to how russia and china each have their own internet which is almost detached from the rest of the world.

    is this what the US is turning into?

    It’s quite common to have parental controls for this type of thing in the UK. It’s not like you’re forced to use it. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it?

    I don’t know how you’re going to block transgender content anyway, surely it exists on Discord, Xitter and Reddit. It’s not possible to intercept HTTPS encryption

      You can block traffic from clients that don’t have an HTTPS cert installed which lets you look at their traffic and make installing that cert part of the ohone’s carrier activation process. This is still silly though
