What happened

New Christian phone network aims to block porn and LGBT content: ‘Jesus-centric’ A newly launched Christian cell-phone network is aiming to be the first in the US to block pornography and LGBT content.

Why it matters

“We are going to create — and we think we have every right to do so — an environment that is Jesus-centric, that is void of pornography, void of LGBT, void of trans,” said Radiant Mobile’s founder, Paul Fisher, to the MIT Technology Review.

Common ground

The phone network, which is scheduled to launch Tuesday, does not own any cell towers but rather buys bandwidth from T-Mobile, similar to President Trump’s “Trump Mobile” launched last year.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
