I did not want to say that the consequences of Facebooks Free Basics can't be seen as something bad. ..and I personally wouldn't argue for their proposed implementation either. It just bugs me that the whole debate always needs to be drown to the lowest common denominator of political understanding. There is little positioning left if everthing is always pressed in shallow us versus them identities. Both sides have better and worse arguments for their position. Ultimately, in my opinion, the issue comes down to solid antitrust mechanisms. To use your picture: If it is a transit system which sparks the idea of mobility in a previously immobile and unconnected society: I wouldn't stop it as long as there is room for other suppliers that might compete with exit-door featured stations.
