Today I notice that, every one supported #Digital_India by changing profile pic.
But they don't know internally they are supporting #internet.org
which is created by facebook.
which is created by facebook.
No no doubt this is the good way for promoting #Digital_India but you must be know about #internet.org and what is this.
Internet.org is an open platform offered by Facebook across 19 developing countries, including India. It aims to enable easy access of selected apps and app-based services to people at zero cost. In India, it has partnered with Reliance Communications to offer free access to about 30 websites.
Facebook has announced that 17 million people have supported theInternet.org service. The company published all the comments it received. However, most of these comments were sourced from the poll that the company ran where users were supposed to answer to the question – “Do you want India to have free basic internet services?”, with just two option; Not Now and Yes, I’m In. There was no option of answering “No”. This means that Facebook wants users to like Internet.org either now, or later; not liking it was not an option.
1. To start with, internet.org is a service available to consumers who use Internet services provided to Reliance users only.
2. It gives 'free access' only to Facebook along with partner platforms, which number less than 50.
3. Instead of getting everyone on the internet, this is more about getting everyone on Facebook.
India is world’s greatest democracy; and by the time 2015 ends, Indian internet users will overtake entire US population. To spread Internet, we definitely don’t need shrewd, commercial schemes such as Internet.org or Free Basics (or whatever you choose to call it)
Government of India should actually help us to thwart such attempts to regulate and control Internet, rather than seeking their assistance. We can smell propaganda based PR attempts here, and we oppose the merging of Digital India with Internet.org.
