> Platforms like Facebook itself would not have been created if
> Mr. Mark Zuckerberg was accessing the internet via this initiative

Although that quote highlights some hypocrisy, it's not all that
compelling because the idea of "platforms like Facebook" not getting
created sounds actually pretty great. ;)

If the problem with something is "this won't support Facebook-like
businesses" then great. The problem with Internet.org is that it is
*solely* Facebook-like and Facebook-approved businesses.

By the way, "hi" everyone. I'm a social entrepreneur working on founding
a non-profit co-op supporting free/libre/open works: Snowdrift.coop —
been meaning to join this list for a while, great and important
discussions here.

Best,
Aaron
