Review of Covenant Eyes
Agree with Andy Naselli’s take on this. The one fly in the ointment is we’re still waiting for Covenant Eyes to add web filtering for Apple Macs.

What I learned from my first pastorate
I so enjoyed this honest, humble, and transparent article. Wait till you read what eventually grew this church.

    I disagree about Covenant Eyes – their software is a proxy server that records every web address you visit. Sort of like Big Brother, only you’re paying them to track you. I’ve never been able to figure out what they do with this information, and I don’t know what would happen if the company was ever sold. But I would never pay a third-party entity to track and record everything I did on the web. The cure is worse than the disease.

      These are definitely concerns, I agree. However, I was told by the President of Covenant Eyes that they regularly destroy all their records (every week if I recall). But you’re right, what happens if the company is sold? That’s got to be balanced with the danger of having to web filtering or accountability software. Personally I prefer the accountability at the risk of having my browsing history known by another company. Not ideal, but until there’s another solution…
