Mike Johnson's porn "monitoring" remarks spark national security concerns
newsweek.com
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.

If you can self host, I recommend Pihole (or some other self-serving dns) with hosts.
I use Steven Black's myself: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
looks fiddly, did IT for 20 years and tired of chasing scammers. all I do is change router dns to opendns #s and let them sort lists. too easy to use
Of course it's fiddly. It's self hosting - comes with the territory.
That said, I just had a son. Doing pihole lets me block sites per-device so I can kill sites on devices he'll eventually get, VS leave them accessible for devices from mom and I.
Of course you want to fiddle. enjoy
And you enjoy ease of use friend.
