Using the internet is an issue I almost sure everyone will be makil (lenient) about eventually.
When the gedolim realize they can’t stop something controversial from taking place they eventually become makil (leinient) about it.
Take a look at other controversial issues and see what happened.
First machine matzohs.
When they first came out they where considered forbidden
Because you can’t clean a matzoh machine from chometz properly.
Today everyone eats machine matzos on passover.
Second yeshiva secular studies programs.
When the tzar of russia demanded the natziv teach secular studies in velozian.
He closed the yeshiva down .
It was impossible for him to even contemplate such a thing.
Today every child attends such a yeshiva.
Similarly with the internet .
today its impossible for them to even contemplate it .
But i think they will allow it and use it extensively like for example the Orthodox union and chabad does today.
give them time and every Jewish rabbi and Jewish institution will be on the internet.
