Religious Internet

A massive protest march is being planned by Jews to protest the Internet. The Ultra-Orthodox Jews want to hold this massive 40,000 person rally to warn people of the dangers of the Internet. The Internet is a highway of temptations and a strong protest needs to be heard to prevent people from becoming apostate. Such is their belief.

Seems to me that there are two major things that might be done. One is that all of those Orthodox Jews ought to get on the Internet and make sure that there is stuff on the Internet that they approve of.  There is a lot of bad stuff and rather than yield the battlefield to the bad stuff, they need to put on more of the stuff they think is good.

They should also develop their own web sites and link on those sites to other sites that they approve of.  Each Synagogue needs to develop a web site with their own good stuff on it, and they ought to identify for the people who read their site, other sites that the Rabbi recommends or approves.

It is not going away, and we can not prevent others from using it, so all religious groups ought to use it and put on it all the stuff they can that they think is worthy.
