Maybe also block all hate speech and inflammatory language. It’s a loving God after all. If that blocks most information from the right that’s too bad.
They can’t do that, hate is their biggest motivator.
Hate in the name of the Lord is most righteous!
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
Surely that’ll break many things that force https, and you’ll be getting tonnes of browser warnings
Oh completely agree with you. This is self-select Handmaid’s Tale.
Gotta fund the jets somehow.
Depending how they structure this, it’s an untaxed sales commission.
I remember finding out that Humble Games Bundle let me max out the charity option towards my church lmao
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
In this case, not simply a gimmick. It’s a funds raiser. For which I take two skewed views. First, pure and simple, it funds hatred in exactly the same way that we are trained to fear Islamic extremists. Secondly, somebody gonna get rich, real quick.
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?

100% the outlier opinion here.
I think they found a market for the average person who is concerned about content online. I spent a lot of time trying to setup content filters to go cold turkey on a port addiction. I setup a pi.hole with some porn list and subscribe to a private DNS service for my phone. All of this is as an alternative to Covenant Eyes that took up to much resources and is very creepy to use.
For the average person, who doesn’t know what DNS is, a network level filter on the internet is exactly what they want for their family. I think it’s a good guardrail for a teenager. But it doesn’t remove a parent’s responsibility. I’m also ignoring the non-porn content filtering that is absolutely going to get caught be their filters, intentionally or not.
I agree and I think many people will tell themselves the same thing. Follows the line of think of the children. Meanwhile, you can keep your own provider and use something like NextDNS, RethinkDNS or similar. However, these only “protect” people connecting to that network. People, as we know, use mobile carriers for the majority of their browsing and reading.
