- fwn 11y agoAll the critique on Facebooks initiative is and always was just this: > The message is entirely misleading, as ['Facebook Free Basics'] does not really enable "digital equality" in India. But instead of simply recognizing that there are different opinions on whether or not price trumps access limitations on equality / benefit scales, the view opposing facebook is simply repeated in different forums, blogs, networks over and over again. It's really a public policy best practice. Just the same position dressed up differently on a million stages.
