Blow to Internet.org as Indian Internet Companies Begin to Withdraw
After limited protest/outrage in communities like /r/india, the news finally hit big when a comedy group AIB decided to make a video explaining what Net Neutrality is: <a href="https://youtu.be/mfY1NKrzqi0" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/mfY1NKrzqi0</a> and then it finally hit mainstream media. Amid pressure from everywhere, Flipkart finally withdrew from the Airtel Zero deal which would have been a blow to Net Neutrality in India.<p>Of course, next step was Internet.org and similar initiatives, which on paper sound like a fantastic idea until you look deeper and begin to see the NN violation problem. This is welcome news indeed. Btw, this was Zuckerburg's response when posed this question: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/PAwf6e3.png" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/PAwf6e3.png</a> "Some connectivity is better than no connectivity, hence the violation of NN is justified"<p>Last few days have been a mixture of anxiousness and excitement. :)
