And maybe just maybe Hashem gets a lot of Nachass from all the yidden who are able to learn Torah and hear shiurim they would not otherwise be able to do. Have you considered that possibility?
I’m sure Hashem does get nachas from, and I quote, people who would not otherwise be able to learning from online sites. So if someone will be online anyway it is a mitzva for them to learn, and for others to enable them to do so. But for a frum yid (and the last time I checked, this was the Yeshiva World News, not Aish.com), who has plenty of resources, and for whom the internet is not necessary to learn, using these sites as a justification (there’s that word again) for having internet at home is ridiculous. It’s one thing if a responsible adult looks at these sites whilst working in an office, but the image of a grown, frum man bringing a laptop into the home, endangering himselff and of course his family, because he ‘wants it for learning’ is not only stupid, but against daas Torah.
Are you genuinely trying to be cleverer or more righteous than Reb Chaim Kannievsky, Reb Elyashiv or any other of the numerous Gedolim who have unequivocally banned domestic internet use?
