Maybe I&#x27;m being too cynical, but this seems about as philanthropic as Ron Hubbard starting a religion.<p>Firstly, the donation is stock not cash, so the value of this foundation will be directly linked to the value of Facebook shares.<p>Secondly, it has been stated that one of the things this foundation will do is &quot;participate in policy debates&quot;. If the headline was &quot;Mark Zuckerberg to put $45 billion is stock behind lobbying effort to establish Internet.org as a monopoly in developing countries&quot;, that wouldn&#x27;t sound quite so positive, would it?
