The number of people in developing countries walking around with an internet-connected computer in their pocket is growing exponentially. This fact has the ability to greatly increase people's access to the basic quality-of-life services you mentioned by facilitating both the growth of for-profit businesses and more efficient government delivery of services.

I think we should celebrate his efforts to remove barriers to the internet in developing countries; it will do good for many people other than Facebook shareholders.
