> If Coca Cola built roads to villages to sell their products, you would also be unhappy? If Coca Cola built roads to villages to sell their products , but only Coca Cola trucks could use the roads - FTFY Now that doesnt look so good, does it?

Internet.org isn't for only Facebook, right? So, the question is are you an idiot or a troll?

  What's to stop one of the participating websites to offer a web proxy, so people could browse any website? If they ban proxies, it will be like the Great firewall of China

  Oh you are right, Facebook plus a bunch of friends right? But thats the "internet" right? Facebook just added some sites, so people couldnt say "but its just Facebook" guess what.. people are not stupid, it is just facebook, and something else so we can think that is not "just facebook" But if you think is right to train people that are not used to the internet that the internet is facebook, just for the facebook´s sake, and that this is a good thing?! If this project were really serious they would give full access to people in need, so they can have plenty of access to knowledge to improve their own lives...or what the ads will do to them? And not to be just a facebook catle, so they can show more ads to more people, and increase their market value in the stock market and pleased wall street with more people using facebook.. if that is not plain evil, i dont know what is. Release the full internet to people, or just dump this whole project in the trash where it belongs.

    People do have the option of not using it. Giving people nothing without a say in the matter seems wrong. Other organizations are free to bring more of the Internet. Google is working on solutions too. It seems wrong to criticise others when you are offering nothing better.

No, that still looks pretty good, because some people want to buy Coca Cola.

  They might also want to buy, I don't know, bread. Should the bread company have to build their own roads, too? That's a better world, how exactly? And what about the people who don't want to buy Coca Cola? Should they get to buy nothing?

    But those roads were already nonexistent, and their nonexistence is not affected by the existence of Coca Cola roads. In this hypothetical, we are comparing a world with no roads to a world with roads to deliver Coca Cola. Since some people like Coca Cola, I find the latter world preferable.
