It’s interesting that those with a filter think it was a huge success and those without a filter or who have read the coverage from unfiltered sources believe it was unsuccessful, people were bullied into attending, the advertising was misleading and that the best part was the free danish. Seems to me that having a filter presents it’s own kind of danger as misinformation can easily be presented as fact to those who filter. Practical tips on self control would have been a lot more useful than treating adults like children who need to be told what to do. You get in the car and it can take you to shul or to someplace disreputable, the internet is no different. Jews are not meant to live blindfolded and locked in a basement to avoid temptation, we are supposed to master things like self control over the course of our lives by facing challenges, not avoiding living in the world. Btw, I have a friend who found a filter on her computer at work the next day, she was unable to access the information that she needs to do her job properly. She works with an extremely vulnerable population of the Jewish community and that’s unacceptable and a terrible outcome.
