Wait a goddamn minute. FB had a chance to do something positive for the world with internet.org but they actually backed out when they were forced to obey net neutrality laws. Make no mistake about it- this is a profit seeking motive with a potential side effect of increased connectivity. You are a product to Facebook, something they sell and once consumed your privacy and rights are left fissured and broken. Don't misconstrue your relationship to them.

But so will a lot of others. Including many Africans who will be able to take advantage of new opportunities unlocked by connecting the continent.
- justapassenger 6y agoIt’s not a zero sum game. Facebook making profit doesn’t mean that other companies and people won’t also profit from it.
