On Zuckerberg's understanding of Net Neutrality and User Privacy, I'd like to quote Upton Sinclair, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

Zuck has inadvertently admitted Internet-Org makes money by trading User Privacy. (Could the NSA be involved? Just asking) Wouldn't it be a good idea for a company like Facebook to make an entire generation of internet users believe that Privacy is not an option.

On April 17th, Zuck said they consult "Local Governments" to decide services (See his comment here during the QnA he had about Internet-Org: https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10102033678947881?commen...). Now he's saying Facebook and Telcos will decide which services to allow. Was he lying through his teeth during the QnA?

And please watch this Internet-Org ad broadcast in India - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s390lZ5UXc4. Kindly enlighten me about who are they marketing it to?

I really respect Facebook and Zuck for their technological, business and charitable achievements. But it lessens with every passing day as Zuck hides an anti-Net Neutrality, anti-competitive and anti-privacy practice by giving it a false PR spin.

I hope Facebook, Internet.org and Zuck give up their charade of philanthropy and come out clean because I can't seem to identify the so-called "poor" people of India from their ad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s390lZ5UXc4
