Defaults matter. In Europe, 10% people opted in for organ donation. But when the mechanism was switched to an opt-out, only 10% actually opted out.

- icebraining 12y agoTrue - though that's mostly applicable because people don't really care if their organs are donated. But any case, I don't see the default here; people have to choose the telco(s) that implement Internet.org, and sign up for it, no?
- nileshtrivedi 12y agoIs that like saying Microsoft shouldn't have been penalized for bundling IE because the user chose the machine which came bundled with Windows which came bundled with IE? (Just so you know, telecom cartels are a reality - at least in India)
- icebraining 12y agoI don't see how is it comparable. What is Internet.org bundled with?
- nileshtrivedi 12y agoBundled with the mobile service (Reliance in India, for eg)
- icebraining 12y agoHow is it bundled anymore than any other mobile data package?
- nileshtrivedi 12y ago@icebraining I can't reply in the thread so posting here. Other internet data packages are bought explicitly by the user, and treat websites neutrally.
