Popa
Once upon a time if someone had a tayvah he had to actually put in some serious hishtadlus to either look at shmutz or do something bad. Today all he needs is a phone ipod or computer. Basically almost any electronic device with a browser puts an insane amount of shmutz at ones finger tips. I read an article about a recent study done online that found that 30 percent (30%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) of all data transferred across the Internet is shmutz the bad stuff. Theres just so much of it online and a lot of it is free. Its all set up to lure people in to this intoxicating tayvah and get them hooked. Popa you should really never know. I know people in chinuch and i have a younger brother who tells me whats going on out there. Its very frightening. I dont think there is one bachur out there who had access to unfiltered internet in privacy that hasnt been nichshol in seeing things that are major issurim and wreck ones kedusha. Theres no need to elaborate. But if we had a problem last year the issue has likely gotten worse by now. Im not sure that many people have gotten filters. The order of business has to be to protect the kids. Im waiting for yeshivas to get some guts and actually do whats necessary to make a zero tolerance policy smart phones. Basically we find it we break it and your loss. I know Rabbi Bender does this. Halevai more Menahalim actually cared about their students nehsamos enough to do this.
