Satmar Rebbe Decries WatsApp Groups and Statuses

Last night at  כא' כסלו event with thousands celebrating the  escape of the previous Satmar Rebbe from the Nazis ym"s, the Satmar Rebbe Rav Aaron Teitelbaum spoke about current issues and events pertaining to the klal.
The Rebbe spoke out against smartphones,  he said that we are losing our body and neshama together, and even  those that have a filter the yetzer hora has found a way to bypass it through other means such as Watsapp groups and Statuses that are not filtered  by connecting people of different backgrounds  with each other.
People send and forward all kinds of lashon hora, rechilus, Nivul peh and giluy Arayos, within a few  seconds one can spread filth across the world
The Rebbe said to the one that sends these  clips he is like  ירבעם בן נבט who causes others to sin. This has caused many tzaaros on klal yisrael both physically and spiritually destroying homes and we must scream loud to the low point that we have come to. The Rebbe called out those who post and pass   images of people in trouble with the law who were caught or convicted it’s bad enough they are shamed at the moment but this only increases  their bizyonos. The rebbe called the  one who takes the picture a rotzeach as chazal say  כל המלבין פני חברו ברבים כאילו שופך דמים those who share it and  distribute to other groups  are also guilty of retzicha. We have murderers among us who Jewish blood is cheap in their eyes he said.
