Did you read the article? It claims internet.org is not limited internet:
> Mark Zuckerberg had come out in defence of the programme, saying it did not block or throttle services and is not in conflict with net neutrality.
- arihant 11y agoIt is. Free lane is fundamentally similar to fast lane. Also, if you use Internet.org, you cannot use other websites unless you stop using Internet.org, you get a "fuck off" message for any other website you want to visit, even if you want to pay for it with usual pay as you go data charges.
- sa1 11y agoIf you can't open any other website other than the 50 or so provided by Facebook, then it is in effect a limited internet. Arguments that "saying it did not block or throttle services", tries to imply that "This is not the Internet, so we are not blocking anything on the Internet". That's just hogwash.
- voxic11 11y agoJust because it doesn't throttle services doesn't change the fact that internet.org gets to decide what services get on the platform in the first place.
