[liberationtech] UltraOrthodox Jews Rally Against the Internet

[Bruce Phillips]

This event might be of interest to some of you. Unlike other groups
discussed in this list-serve, these people can't actually shut it down, at
least as far as I know.....

 Rallying Against the Internet

A sold-out event at New York’s Citi Field aims to unite the ultra-Orthodox
world against online ‘evils’

This Sunday, there’ll be a sellout crowd at Citi Field, a rare sight at the
home of the New York Mets. But the big draw isn’t a baseball game. It’s an
ultra-Orthodox rally against the Internet that had sold out all 40,000
seats more than a week in advance.
