[Avodah] Psak she'ein hatzibbur yecholin laamod bo

[Liron Kopinsky]

Everyone has been talking about whether a "psak" was given that bans the
internet.

Is there any significance to the fact that it is called a "psak" and not a
"gezerah"? If a gezerah is made that the tzibbur just can't keep, my
understanding is that the gezerah does not end up taking effect. But
presumably, if it's a "psak" then it's based on already existant and
accepted halachot, is it intended that we have no choice?

Kol Tuv,
