This Google Custom Search looks only in this website. This week I received calls from frightened people of all levels and ages regarding those addicted already to the Internet, expressing their reactions in naive denial. "I am able to watch over myself." "The nonsense doesn't begin to interest me." Nonetheless, these individuals need no more than two weeks [of exposure] to wipe out months and years of Torah, sanctity and wisdom.
Letter from HaRav Kanievsky shlita about the Internet BS"DTo all those gathered this motzei Shabbos lesheim Shomayim on Parshas Vayechi in Rechovot through the network of rabbonim: Whoever had his ancestors' feet standing by Har Sinai and declares in Krias Shema not to "be led astray by their hearts and their eyes" knows clearly that it is severely forbidden to own and view [what is shown on the device of the] Internet or anything connected or resembling it, for he cannot escape succumbing to it and transgressing the most stringent prohibitions. There is no allowance whatsoever in the world to use it or part of it. This is the very Satan of our lowly generation and this is the very thing which destroyed the Heichal and which caused the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash, slays all the tzaddikim and it continues to dance in our midst (Yoma 69b). I call upon whoever finds himself in the proximity of the Internet, "Walk quickly to escape Gehennom" (Kiddushin 81a).
