Well, at least the honesty is a good thing. Hatzlocha.

Good going. I would suggest disabling the Youtube app too.

Try dropping the phone in the toilet. Make it look like an accident.

Just an idea....

One of the disadvantages of K9 on the iPhone is that it's not configurable, you can't set different levels of protection or blacklist sites. I'm not aware of any other filter that's better though. BTW just yesterday they came out with a new version that performs much better and now supports bookmarks.

I myself just recently got rid of my old smartphone that did not have a filter, and I now have an iPhone with K9.

The following are perhaps stupid questions - to whomever they may concern:
Do you have internet connection on a device that is not needed for your parnassah?
Didn't the gedolim of our generation say that it is forbidden (and dangerous) to have?

Sorry for being naive.

MT- It seems you have access to the internet so whats the diff between internet on a comp or on a phone?

I will try the new K9 - thx GSY

Re: struggle continues 08 Jun 2012 14:31 #139108

I only have (filtered) internet access on a computer at work, which the Gedolim were Matir. When in doubt whether your internet access is one that may be allowed by the Gedolim, ask a Shayla. When you know for sure that it does not meet their guidelines, then that's a problem.

I think that's clear. (I assume you're not one of those who question the decisions of our Gedolim.)
