Jewish Extremists Want To Ban The Internet
We’ve heard arguments to ban porn, to ban free speech, to ban hate speech, but what about to ban the service that provides it all?
This was a common refrain: a free internet for the office, but a fettered one at home, where women, children, and tempted men would be safe from the perils of OK Cupid and PornHub. But bare tits and bad words were just the most libidinous terrors. As argued by one Orthodox (online) newspaper, Voz Iz Neias, the internet offers an unprecedented outlet for “Chilul Hashem” a term used to describe an act that casts shame on God, the Torah, or the Jewish community. (Think about the saga of Bernie Madoff, or this post itself.)
