First of all, let us say that "Kosher internet" does not exit, yet. There is no known solution to the various problems that internet poses to a ''hareidi'' family. There are partial solutions and this article discusses them.
In addition, hareidi.org recognizes that pornography and sexually abusive content on the internet is a significant problem that affects both families who do not follow the rulings of the ''hareidi'' rabbinical authorities, as well as those ''hareidim'' who are required and permitted to use the internet.
The reports on the quantity and popularity of this material on the internet<ref>[http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=%22availability+of+pornography%22&btnG=Search Availability of pornography]</ref> (reaching, according to some estimates, 20%-30% of non-commercial internet usage) are astounding.

==Permitted Use==
This paragraph will discuss "permitted" use. TBD.
Basically, internet use is forbidden. However there are some exceptions. If internet use is needed to earn a living, and other options are not available, it is permitted to use the internet. It is also permitted for case of Jewish outreach, research and in certain cases for educational purposes.<ref>There are some (non-Hareidi) rabbinical authorities who permit the use of internet for news and activism, given the generally anti-religious nature of the Israeli media.</ref> If already permitted for one of the above reasons, then it is also permitted to do "internet shopping" for oneself or others.
==Visual and addictive aspects==
This paragraph will discuss discusses the issues that face a hareidi Jew who has been authorized to use the internet. TBD.
It is recommended that a hareidi Jew use a content and URL filter, and most importantly an image filter that will still provide access to the majority of material required for the workplace, or other professional purposes. Hareidi.org's Kosher Internet add-on software is one such filter.
