Churches reportedly use several apps to track their members’ internet activities, including watching pornographic material. (Read More Here).

Gracepoint, a Southern Baptist church, was recently exposed by one of its former members who said the congregation uses an app called Covenant Eyes. The app is marketed as “anti-porn” spyware, which is used to spy on church members’ web traffic and send the information to a designated user. The former member said they’ve received emails about their internet from Gracepoint, which sent detailed information about their internet traffic.

He said the report mentioned his browsing history to a flagged search of the hashtag #gay, as reported by The Byte. “It’s more like ‘shameware,’ and it’s just another way the church controls you,” another former member said.
