I hope that if they do they provide a better explanation than TAG did.

I don't have the patience to read through the other kol koreh, but they mention device many times, when 24six is software?

How does a Jewish-music platform threaten Jewish continuity? Please ELI5

Hefkervelt posted an email from "a respected rov" a few days ago which did a much better job at explaining the potential dangers of such a device. (Although the name of the rov was not mentioned, I tend to believe Hefkervelt's opinion on the status of the rov, as they are usually on point with their descriptions.)

Not sure what these bans accomplish, other than make people eventually tune out (no pun) rabbonim.

Anyone who's currently using Spotify (for Jewish music) is happy to switch over to this. Any parent who is sensitive to technology understands that any device - even a 'kosher' one - can cause issues with children.

So not sure who these bans with vague fear-mongering concerns ("who says they're truly safe") are targeting.

+1 this is sloppy reporting by Lakewood ALerts.

Re the device itself you are WAY off. No many parents are NOT in tune to the risks of "kosher" devices. In addition to this, once a device is labeled as a kosher one it becomes much more difficult to stand up to the peer pressure.

Is there a 24six device?

They are mainly an app. The device is just for people without app access.

what is a better way. He is trying to convey the dangers of such a device on our children.

Are they discussing both or only the device?

Such a kol korei alerts the vast majority of people, myself included, that there is something wrong with such a device, and we will therefore stay away from it.

I want to do what's right. When I see the advertising, I don't necessarily think about the possible pitfalls. But a well explained kol korei (like the email posted on Hefkervelt, which clearly says that it's a step up from unfiltered internet but a step down from Kosher devices) alerts me to the issues, and I won't get it for my kids.

Yes, there are some who will always question rabbonim and will be skeptical. They won't listen to any kol korei, and they already don't respect rabbonim. We don't have to run our frum society around those people.
