Offer an alternative, or get out of the way.

Instead of allowing these countries to get to internet access in their own way, and at their own pace, internet.org will hamstring the efforts by providing this free crippled version that will permanently warp these users view of what the internet is and push out smaller local competition that provides real internet. The very fact that it's called internet.org is obvious proof of the dishonesty at play. Sometimes the right answer is to do nothing if you don't have anything good to contribute.
