It's definitely coming - looking at "apostate websites" will become a disfellowshipping offence!
Of course, virtually nobody will actually be caught doing so, but the fear of being d/f'd will be more than enough to deter any J.W. from sharing information they've gleaned from the web.
The rope is being tightened around the necks!
We must be very selective about what we consider worthy of our attention. (The ‘preacher’s WE’)
Especially could those (What weird grammar) who are new to the Internet (Why new? Is this to imply that the GB are experienced and the reader is a dolt?) conclude that a report or a news item, however strange or sensational, is true simply because it is online or because a friend sent it via e-mail. (How patronising)
It is also unwise (Comma missed) to forward recordings or transcripts of Bible talks. (Why? Because the current light might be superseded and the WBT$ do not want to be liabe for it?)
Furthermore, forwarding research material, verses extracted for Bible study, or answers to use at congregation meetings would detract from the value of each individual’s personal preparation. (Yes, can’t have the R&F missing a chance to be brainwashed or give them extra time. Funny how the WBT$ doesn’t like anything recorded in any media whatsoever!)
And what should you do if you find slanderous (Really?) news about Jehovah’s organization on the Internet? Such material should be firmly rejected (How do you know if it’s slanderous unless you investigate?)...Jesus, (Appeal to authority) who was the object of false accusations, warned his followers that enemies would persecute them and “lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against [them].” (So, that was Jesus. What has Jesus got to do with the WBT$? Is this non-sequitur hour?)
The GB is still talking about email like it is a new thing.
I think they don't realize yet how strong a presence social media is even in the lives of average JWs. You don't need someone to send you news, it gets delivered straight to your feed.
Email is yesterdays news.

Yes, but we need to remember the GB only communicate via holy spirit with the invisible sky idiot. They're not used to 'worldly' technology.....*AHEM*unless it's a certain type of perverted porn*COUGH*COUGH*.
Don't share your research.
Years ago, we relished sharing research and forwarding talks that were presented by excellent speakers.
Now, it's wrong for a JW to do.

What I clearly see in that statement is surrender. It used to be that the organization would dance around this subject, talking about the dangers of the internet, (usually with a reference to porn, almost never about apostasy directly). However, now it seems they are tacitly admitting that JWs see the critical information, because they know finding it is unavoidable. This is good news.
For you lurkers, get off the Titanic while you still can.

I have lots of cd's of talks. I wish I hadn't bothered now. what a waste.
I will never refer to them ever again.
