...CEO and Co-Founder of the Christian prayer app Hallow, took to X (formerly Twitter)...announcing that the European Union (EU) would no longer allow its citizens access to the app.
Jones explained that “over-regulation” targeting all religious apps would make it impossible for Hallow to be available in the EU. This news comes shortly after China removed Hallow from its app store in July 2024.
In his post, Jones expressed his heartbreak over the news as Hallow was in the works of expanding its content to Polish, French, Italian, and German audiences. Since its launch in December 2018, Hallow has seen more than 18 million downloads across 150 countries, making its worldwide reach and influence significant. While the details of the app’s demise in Europe are sparse, some suspect that the EU’s strict data privacy laws are to blame. EU law classifies data that reveals religious or philosophical beliefs as “sensitive” data and prohibits processing such data without explicit consent, with a few limited exceptions. However, some are preparing to defend the app. ADF International, an international legal organization committed to free speech and religious liberty, replied to Jones on X, encouraging him to “DM them with more details,” stating they “might be able to help.”
As Europe continues to see a decline in religious affiliation, with the Pew Research Center estimating that the continent’s Christian population could shrink by 100 million before 2050, the need for Christian prayer apps and religious content is considered by many to be more important than ever. As Jones shared on X in response to the EU’s actions, “God will not be outdone.”

Alex Jones, CEO - not to be confused with the other Alex Jones of the infamous podcast.
And I’m supposed to be worried about Putin?
Another worthwhile note about the reach of this app:
“Christian prayer app Hallow reaches thousands of prisoners via new partnership”
Reaching the incarcerated has been ‘a goal of ours for years,’ Hallow’s CTO Erich Kerekes told Fox News Digital
I HATE that it is becoming increasingly clearer than unless some european countries make HUGE u turns...the alliance we have had with them for so long will not last.
OR I could be completely wrong :)
Europe is not worth defending anymore.
Our UK and EU “allies” look pretty totalitarian to me.
I’m looking further down the road and am horrified that some of those countries may be our enemies one day.
Especially since the only people really reproducing in some of those countries are muslims.
Good for them: Mark Wahlberg, Chris Pratt, and Gwen Stefani!
What is happening in the once liberal, free speech, transparent West?
I remember the 80s, and it seemed like every movie, every concert, government official and politician would talk about these ideas.
Today it’s us trying to stick a cork into freedom of speech and you can forget any semblance of government transparency.
You essentially have a “soft tyranny” where bureaucracies gets to make major decisions which impact commerce and even your basic rights, and “the people* let them get away with it.
The MSM which once prided itself as being the “watchdog of democracy” plays along as if they are a government PR arm, at least when a Democrat is in office.
If you think I’m over exaggerating, need I remind you of covid and what was done?

Well, not in this case. 🙂
I suppose a Titanic analogy might be appreciate here. Not only is Western Europe heading straight for an iceberg, their leaders are down below poking holes in the hull.
Why are they exhibiting openly fascist behavior? Why are they going out of their way to kiss Muslim butt? It almost defies explanation.
So don’t make in an app. Make it a link people can download from or stream from.
What was it that the Vice President was saying not long ago about shared values?
I remember a TV ad sixty-some years ago from Radio Free Europe. It was about “propaganda...communist propaganda.” The camera panned back as the countries of the Eastern Bloc were named, finally showing a young boy with his head wrapped in chains.
Maybe RFE should start broadcasting to the EU.
Better ban The Bible, I guess.
Someone might read it (if they can due to our poor schools), and they might pray!
It’s a shame and a pity. Europe throw away their rich cultural history in favor of the unholy ideology of Karl Marx.
And yet there MUST be a reason or reasons.
Total fear?
Hope that they will be spared when muslims finally take over because of their actions now?
No, those are such far fetched ideas that it can’t be.
I would think someone had some terrible dirt on them to get them to do their bidding but no muslim groups are sophisticated to have that kind of intelligence ring.
Sometimes I guess maybe there are no answers to insanity.
“Europe is not worth defending anymore.”
Godless countries lose wars, so I agree.
Their so-called leaders are empty and it’s not worth losing American lives over their wars anymore.
Exactly
Sadly, history is repeating itself.
