While the European Union (EU) is infamous for its contempt for free speech, it may have sunk to a new low by reportedly going after a religious app.
Tech entrepreneur Alex Jones (not to be confused with Infowars founder Alex Jones) announced that EU regulations were crushing the Hallow App, his popular Christian and Catholic platform that encourages prayer, meditation and Bible reading.
“Getting shut down in the EU it seems,” Jones, who is the app’s CEO and co-founder, wrote Jan. 28 on X. In a follow-up post, Jones explained that his app’s current difficulties were directly tied to its religious nature: “The EU is shutting us down by over-regulation, apparently targeting any religious app, making it effectively impossible for us to operate in the EU.”
