Either way, i am comfortable saying that the statment that under no circumstances should internet be in a home, even for business even protected, is NOT a psak for rivivos alfei yisroel
As the OP said:
We heard the Psak Halacha issued by Gedolei HaPoskim regarding the permissibility of having internet access. Most notably Hagaon Haadir Posek Hador Ba’al Shevet Halevi HaRav Shmuel Wosner shlit”a, as directly stated himself live at the Kinus Klal Yisroel, Maran Hagaon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky shlit”a, as stated in his written letter, and the hundreds of Gedolei Yisroel attending the Asifa.
As was said in the Asifa, you now lose your Chelek in Olam Haba. B”H we will be in good company. IMHO, it is more likely that those who sacrifice Yiddishe Kinder for their personal gain, or for their own sense of superiority, will lose their Chelek. Not those such as yourself, who works towards a solution to one of the major issues in the Klal, the Shidduch Crisis.
As a Rov (who is known to not pull punches) pointed out, Rav Chaim has no idea what a video is, let alone internet. (This was from first hand experience). I can safely waive the P’sak of anyone from EY regarding any technology (even without pointing out the EY P’sakim have nothing to do with America, and are non-binding anyway).
AZ has been the most logical regarding the Asifa. The speakers (for the most part) talked……(deleted for YWN). Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein basicly says the same thing in Cross Currents. However, the point of introducing the concept of restricted internet to the RW Yeshivish and Chassidish communities (where the center already uses filters, and the MO also does or (for LWMO) don’t care) was worth the entire Asifa.
