I initially thought you were being overly critical here. It looks like you're right, the "Initiative" he created is an LLC and not a non-profit.

- ucaetano 9y agoYep, and not his first rodeo either. Remember the "Internet.org", a for-profit initiative that is part of Facebook? Putting ".org" in something for-profit that tries to achieve monopoly is as dishonest as it gets...

- ucaetano 9y agoThe issue isn't that the LLC doesn't give away money. The issue is that it is a LLC.
