Being in the mir recently i can tell you it is a huge issue.
Unfortunately, it will not be resolved so easily.
Irgun have also clamped down and it is getting harder o to have an irgun dira (believe they are tight on money).
They have made a new rule that if one of the people in the dira have a talk and text phone with a colour screen hich could play video you cant sign up the dira. This has turned away many more diras.
This problem is litvish and chassidish alike…..
The mir officially have “spies” check on diras but this has never helped anything or anyone….
Unfortunately, even in the mir dorms there are plenty of smartphones.
Do also reliase alot of these people have kosher phones for out and about and keep their smartphones in their dira…
No easy fix. But there has to be enough people out there without smartphones to create a dira with. You only need 5-8 bochrim!
Good luck
