If this is important to you, and it's a noble goal, I suggest you go to Africa, build a startup and give those Angolans free internet access. Accusing others of not making their business free is not the way to go.

I think it's going to be easier to build my startup here, and then fund access to the internet from developing countries.

But I wouldn't fund only access to just my website, I'd fund access to the whole thing.

Which is my objection to zero-rating.

And yes, I'd see this as an absolutely worthwhile use of philanthropic donations if/when I ever make enough to do that.
