Interesting timing considering Sprint just announced the Facebook plan for $12/month. And internet.org reeks of imperialism in the worst way.
Internet.org — Every one of us. Everywhere. Connected.
When the blatant truth is:
Internet.org — Every one of us. Everywhere. Connected. Through Facebook. Because we need MOAR users! To serve MOAR ads.
I 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…
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.
I saw recently one person talking about when you delete your Facebook account it's a true delete rather than a soft-delete, but I'm not sure how true that is, stuff like that goes a long way and matters to me.
Wait. I don't understand. Why not just give people http?

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.
Twitter has been great, they focused on doing one thing really well.
you want the internet to be widespread? Promote things like long-range wifi and mesh networks.
This is a great idea for Facebook! They're in the perfect position to have widespread adoption quickly and the service would be invaluable. Privacy would be key though, they'd have to opensource it and prove to people that it's secure and private.
Is 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.

Ideally Facebook would engineer itself out of existence, but I'm not holding my breath.
Facebook is the best at social media, there's no denying that. I would support them if they would have stayed small, simple, and private, but they kept adding, tracking, Sharing, Liking, Poking, etc.

Yep, and all the hypocrisy... Internet.org — Every one of us. Everywhere. Connected. When the blatant truth is: Internet.org — Every one of us. Everywhere. Connected. Through Facebook. Because we need MOAR users! To serve MOAR ads.
