Accountability or "SHAMEWARE"?: A Chat on the Recent Accountability Software Controversy

1 year ago

NOTE: This is only my limited, personal take on the issue. Surely the situation will develop and there may be details I have missed. Nevertheless, I think it's a good conversation to have.

Recently, Google has removed Covenant Eyes and Accountable2You from the Google play store. This was prompted by a report sent to Google by WIRED, which argued that these accountability (created with the aim to fight pornography addiction) softwares are being used to monitor people's internet usage without proper consent. Danny walks through what he has read and then talks about his opinions on the situation, and wider topics such as shame and lust in the Christian life.
