Seems pretty high effort compared to a content blocker mobile app or native parental controls. I'm not sure why anyone would get this.

There are plenty of progressive Christians who remember that Jesus’s most important command was to love your neighbor. The better question is, why are these fundamentalists so successful at co-opting the word “Christian”? Why does “Christian phone network” mean one that blocks homosexual content rather than one that donates 10% of revenue to feed the poor?
Ideally a Christian cell phone network would do both. It would also provide only healthy foods in the office and encourage fitness (gluttony and sloth are sinful), prohibit working on Sundays, and encourage policies to steward our world. It would control off-hours demands for those who are married and have children, and therefore have family obligations to which they must see, and might hold mixers for its singles to…
What does this mean?

It has restricted internet, and allows calls and messages only to / from other "Kosher" lines and specific whitelisted numbers as approved by a rabbinical committee.
They also have some bastardized support for Whatsapp with a limited ability to join groups (not sure how that's implemented)
Happy to have the market solve a problem, providing an opt-in solution for people who want it. Somehow porn doesn't show up in my web-browsing either, funny how that works.
Given the way things have been lately, sometime before 2027 comes we'll see a push to make things like this the default, requiring explicit opt-out (which then potentially adds your name to a list)

Why would a properly Christian cell phone network block homosexual content? Even if we take it as given that Christianity forbids homosexuality, that's a prohibition on behavior, not observation. There's nothing in there which says you're not allowed to read about gay people, any more than you're not allowed to read about Hindus.

Because the MIT Technology Review would not, upon hearing about a phone network that donates 10% of revenue to feed the poor, contact T-Mobile and request comment on whether such donations from a bandwidth reseller "violate any of its policies". Everyone agrees that you should be allowed to be charitable if you'd like. So there's no polarization pressure in that direction; Christians who want their phone network to b…

Most conservative Christians (at least the ones I know in LDS and evangelical circles) would be very uncomfortable with their kids watching Andrew Tate videos, yes.
Their voting records don’t seem to bear that theory out.
I've always known people involved with the Christian community to be opposed against all extreme political parties, left and right (and long ago against anarchists, mostly against greens, ...). If they are rightist, they won't be nearly far enough right to support Andrew Tate and the like.
You don't know and can't know if being Christian and voting rightist overlaps or not. Only the general area is known. Nothing more.

One of the central tenets of democracy is that NOBODY knows anyone else's voting records. Even politicians are not allowed to reveal who they're voting for (meaning they can't show the paper. They can talk about it afterwards, but for all you know e.g. Trump voted for Harris). I've always known people involved with the Christian community to be opposed against all extreme political parties, left and right (and long a…
I know how your neighborhood did; I know how evangelicals (and Asians and Jews and people in certain age and income brackets and dozens of other data points) voted.
The more evangelical an area, the more it voted for Trump. We know this.

actually sometimes you're in a normal website and there is an porn ad at the bottom.
