#33I guess it's official, Facebook isn't going anywhere and will continue to become more and more part of our lives. They're getting close to the level of Google (which I do trust with my data because they are transparent about most issues before people start asking them to be). http://newsroom.fb.com/pages-directory/ http://newsroom.fb.com/resources-projects/ We can avoid Facebook all we want but one of these days ther…
I live happily the last couple of years without a facebook account and didn't stop from anything.
ps. I use my twitter handler for disqus and I have a G-account which I don't use much.

#34Welcome to the Internet where you exist only if you beg the powers that be to include you in a list. This is the first time in my life I see a "country" going from democracy to aristocracy.

#35Wait. I don't understand. Why not just give people http?

#36I don't understand why is everyone here crying how evil this is. They are going to provide FREE Internet access to the basic websites and how that is a bad thing?
Re: Introducing the Internet.org App
#37Is there somewhere to complain about the domain name being an .org as this seems to be the opposite of the internet. Why don't they just give people 200Mb of free data if they really want to promote the internet.
A better site name might be corpnet.com lockinnet.com.

Google has a browser called Canary and this http://rt.com/usa/161192-google-facebook-microsoft-nsa-gag/ They have a new language called Dart -- Google's first ever reference to violence. They're nice people, but they've gotten a bit anxiety causing, not like they used to be (blame it on being a large company I guess, but don't forget to think).
Canary is just the name for their nightly release channel, it's been named that for several years. Most people should not use Canary because it's mainly for finding bugs before they get sent to the Dev channel. I don't really associate Dart with violence when I hear the word, haven't even consider it until you mentioned it just now. Dart to me (other than just a random short word that was unused and sounds decent) me…

communication is a basic service (and human right!)

How can you trust facebook? How a non net-neutral Internet is good for Zambia?
It's just clever marketing from facebook. Nothing else. Creating news costumers forced to use faceboook to keep his numbers high and growing.
Its shady privacy policy and unethical experiments (and don't forget the NSA collaboration) makes of Facebook one of the worst corporations out there.
I invite you to close your account.
