> It is THEIR fault that the choice is FaceBook or nothing because they want that to be the choice.

It's Facebook's fault that many Indians can't afford the Internet? Okay...it's also Facebook's fault that there is poverty in the world. You know, poverty that spontaneously started to exist in 2004, when Facebook was founded.

Nobody's blaming them for creating poverty, but taking advantage of it to lock people in to their system is another matter.
