"Father and Son Bond Over Safe Internet Practices with Porn-Monitor Phone App"

Newly-resurfaced footage shows House Speaker Mike Johnson promoting the use of the app "Covenant Eyes," which encourages accountability between him and his son regarding porn use. The app scans all electronic devices and sends a weekly report to an accountability partner, in this case, Johnson's 17-year-old son. While Johnson didn't directly mention porn, the app's purpose is to discourage X-rated content. The app has faced privacy concerns in the past but is currently available on the Google Play store. Johnson, known for his conservative Christian leanings, has attracted attention for his controversial views on homosexuality and support for creationism. He stated that he endorses the app as a user and not for financial gain.
