New Christian phone network aims to block porn and LGBT content: 'Jesus-centric'
Key Points:
- Radiant Mobile, a new Christian cell-phone network in the US, plans to block pornography and LGBT content, creating a "Jesus-centric" environment on its devices.
- The network operates by purchasing bandwidth from T-Mobile and uses Israeli cybersecurity firm Allot to filter over 100 content categories, including a default-on filter targeting sexuality and gender-related content.
- The service can block specific sections of websites, such as LGBT-focused pages on university sites, without blocking the entire domain, with the potential to expand blocking if such content appears prominently.
- Radiant Mobile charges $29.99 per month and aims to donate part of its proceeds to churches, while also planning to expand to other majority-Christian countries like Mexico and South Korea.
- The company’s COO expressed concern over the prevalence of pornography among Christian pastors and families, emphasizing the need to restrict adult content access to protect children and the community.
