“A new US-wide cell phone network (Radiant Mobile) marketed to Christians is set to launch next week. It blocks porn, which experts in network security say marks the first time a US cell plan has used network-level blocking for such content that can’t be turned off even by adult account owners. It’s also rolling out a filter on sexual content aimed at blocking material related to gender and trans issues.”

Evangelicals will sign up by the millions for a cell phone network that blocks porn and LGBTQ content, right?
Wrong! Fundies will claim that this porn-free cell service is the greatest thing since sliced bread and leisure suits, but they are going to keep their cell phone plans that allow them unfettered access to hard core porn.
Even as evangelicals condemn pornography and protest LGBTQ-related content, the Bible Belt has the highest porn consumption in the country.
At Republican National Conventions and Turning Point USA events, Tinder and Grindr often see sharp usage spikes in the host city. The same kind of hypocrisy shows up among prominent closeted evangelicals including Senators Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, Tom Cotton, and Josh Hawley; House Speaker Mike Johnson; and commentator Bennie Johnson.
When a religious or political convention comes to town especially one marked by worship and public piety Grindr activity tends to surge, and nearby hotels often fill with male sex workers.
Mark my words: Radiant Mobile will fail because many evangelicals still want access to pornography, especially girl-on-girl content.
