Reply To: Unfiltered Access to the Internet allowed?

Just-a-Guy, you raise a Halachid Shaila which must be asked of appropriate Rabbonim. However, I personally feel that the internet is certainly worse than passing women who are washing clothing in the river. In said case, the Rashbam says that if someone has a different path and still chooses to pass them by, then he is called a Rasho even if he closes his eyes.

Similarly, if one does not need the Internet for business, meaning it is not a necessity, then the simple act of having it would be wrong. Of course if one must have it for business purposes then they should have the strongest possible filters in place, and then would be considered in the category of those that are “Leka Darko Achrina.”
