There was a story a few months ago that Rav Chaim said anyone owning an iPhone could not be an Eid. Many have commented on this “psak” and the consensous seemed to be that the statement was misunderstood. It was likely the asker did not properly either ask or understand the answer.
It is likely the same happend here as well along with the fact we dont have any evidence this was actually said other than an anonymous poster on the internet, but even if it was said, who is to say it was made to a specific person or the general population as well.
