The first one is having unfiltered internet, with full access to all the shmutz in the world. This is simply and unequivocally assur. The Gedolim and venerated Poskim of our generation (R’ Shteinman, R’ Vozner, R’ Chaim, R’ Nissin Karelitz, R’ Moshe Shternbuch, to name a few) have said so time and time again, and I have yet to hear a single dissenting opinion.
Simple, yes. Unequivocal – apparently not. ZD seems to be of the opinion – an opinion supposedly supported by those he considers competent halachic authorities of the level to argue with the formidable group you mentioned – that (a) he needs access to the ‘shmutz of the world’ for his business, (b) he is allowed to have such access for the sake of business.
Unless the ????? can be considered ??????, and we can assume that ZD has conceded his position in this debate, and has given up his unfiltered smartphone, ?”?, and either reclarified the opinion of his ‘halachic authorities’ or realized their incompetence.
