This is so far removed from the truth. What about blogs? Academic papers? Journalistic articles? Mailing list threads? Even paper books!
The name "Internet.org" is grossly misleading. "Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past." Willingly giving a service effective control of the present yields dastardly results.
- dylanjermiah 11y agoMy claim was not correct. However, a lot of blogs, journals, books etc. are used as references for Wikipedia. Regardless, this is a huge step up. We must not let perfection get in the way of progress. FB will not have any control, people can choose to use it, or not. They are also free to pay for an ISP when an affordable and reliable one arrives. Which at this point is not possible.
