Resurfaced comments in which new House Speaker Mike Johnson talked about how he and his son monitor each other's online activity using "accountability software" have raised questions about national security.

Johnson, a Republican who was first elected to Congress in 2016, spoke in 2022 about how he installed software called Covenant Eyes on his devices during a panel called "War on Technology" at Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, Louisiana, Rolling Stone reported.

According to a clip first posted on X, formerly Twitter, by a user called Receipt Maven, Johnson spoke about how the subscription-based service helps people abstain from internet porn and "objectionable" websites.

What happens when this is addressed and the software is removed? Unadulterated porn mayhem. I’m excited to see it.

"Unadulterated porn mayhem" Thanks, stealing that for my new band name

Isn't porn committing adulteration by definition? Or, commtting adultness. We can't have that in our society.
