> subsidize internet access in the developing world

Are you talking about Facebook's abuse of power to strengthen its monopoly position in developing nations?

If so, 83% of voters in the USA thinks what you are describing as "subsidy" should be illegal here[1], and it would better be described as neo-colonialism than a subsidy.

Is there some other way in which facebook is "subsidizing internet access"?

I assumed he/she was. Internet.org is in direct opposition to the principle of net neutrality.
