To our dear readers,

Several months ago, we published a letter on Matzav.com expressing concern over the irresponsible posting and sharing of content on various WhatsApp groups and statuses. The letter aimed to address the general WhatsApp community, urging increased vigilance and sensitivity regarding the information shared, particularly when it has the potential to harm individuals, businesses or organizations. However, many readers felt that the letter was specifically targeting a certain WhatsApp community, most notably the CBN Whatsapp community.

We wish to clarify that the letter was not directed at the CBN community or any specific platform, but was rather intended as a call for conscientious sharing within the broader WhatsApp landscape. Recognizing that Matzav.com reaches readers worldwide, we understand the weight that our content carries and the significant impact that a letter published on our platform can have on a frum news source like CBN News. We apologize if our post cast CBN News in a negative light. They deserve better.

CBN News has, in fact, served the community by providing essential news and valuable information, contributing meaningfully to Klal Yisroel through its platform.

We extend our wishes to CBN for continued success in their mission, and we pray that all of us involved in the news media industry merit to be mekadeish Sheim Shomayim and be blessed with siyata diShmaya as we strive to inform and uplift Klal Yisroel each day.
