Pornography-blocking apps often promoted in Christian circles are hitting back after Google suspended two of the most widely-used programs from its phone store.
The technology giant suspended Covenant Eyes and Accountable2You apps from the Google Play store after an article in Wired magazine branded them ‘shameware’.
Criticism in the piece centred on the fact that the apps capture all of a user’s online activity before sending details on to a server. It alleged such software could be used for spying rather than simple accountability.
