An accountability program is good, IMO. However, it should be a voluntary program. Lots of churches have accountability programs for the internet--or is that a surprise to everyone? Ever heard of Covenant Eyes, Safe Eyes or XXX Church? They function by emailing an accountability partner an unaltered copy of your visited websites on a regular basis. You can't edit the results, and the only sites that will show up on the email are questionable sites.
The only part I disagree with here is the mandatory nature, but like I said--we may not know the whole story.

I don't care if there is a problem in the church or not. I'd tell him exactly what he could do with his monitoring program and it wouldn't be pretty.
