India is certainly trying, and we&#x27;ve improved greatly in this regard. I don&#x27;t  think the West should get to decide what the rest of the world can and cannot see. Under the current internet.org setup, HTTPS does not work on feature phones, which are still a HUGE market in India. So by using internet.org, fb gets to see in plain all communication between a user and the website. Furthermore, anybody eavesdropping on this connection can also see this data.<p>So basically in exchange for  free internet, Indians lose security and privacy. Just because these people are poor does not mean that they don&#x27;t deserve these rights. Somehow, I don&#x27;t trust fb to act benevolently in this situation when they&#x27;ll have so much data ready to use.<p>Great quote from Desmond Tutu:<p>&quot;When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land.<p>They said &#x27;Let us pray.&#x27;<p>We closed our eyes.<p>When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.&quot;<p>The last time the West claimed to be helping spread enlightenment to uncivilized people, they colonized them and stole their resources and livelihoods. Fuck that, it&#x27;s not happening again.
