Not a rabbi, but I am Jewish.

A specific segment of Jews (namely Ultra-Orthodox) have quite a complicated relationship with the internet. On one hand, that community has experienced the positives of this technology, but they also VERY much discuss the fears and downsides.

So this site can be a seen as trying to wiggle into that tough space of getting use out of it, but in an "acceptable" way.

Here's another example I found by a quick google search: https://koshercell.org/

But in Israel there's also a well-known ISP that filters the internet for you (and your household): https://www.linkedin.com/company/internet-rimon/

Interestingly, all ISPs and phone companies in Israel are required to offer server-side filtered internet for all customers who request it, at no extra cost.
