This is a PR piece.

- pyrophane 11y agoIn addition to being a PR piece, this further exposes the NY Times lack of capability when it comes to technology reporting. It makes me wonder if they are treating tech a bit like their real estat operations: less as a journalistic endeavour and more as a cash machine for their more serious reporting. Either way, anyone with a solid background in tech surely would have recommended a few important points about internet.org that should have had a place in this coverage.
