“seems like they provided Rav Wosner with more accurate information regargind the internet.”
Different Posek, different shaila, but the same idea. I heard recently that an Avreich, a baal teshuva, approched R’ Chaim Kanievsky Shlita with the following shayla. His chevra pre baal teshuva days would get together and play basketball on shabbos. He missed the action and wanted to know if it was permitted to play “kadur sal” on shabbos. The Rav asked him to describe “kadur sal” and he told him 5 people joined as a team with the objective of putting the ball in the basket. R’ Chaim asked, is it not possible to fill the basket before shabbos? (I don’t repeat this story to c’v poke fun of one of our leading poskim, on the contrary, it highlights his greatness and how his entire life and being is torah) in other words, what was Rav Wosner told about the “internet” and how it could be used, and what was he asked prior to the asifa – to address the crowd, or issue a psak. Certainly, with more (or accurate) information his opinion on the matter could change.
