It&#x27;s fine to go around saying we&#x27;re offering free facebook to users who want it. That&#x27;s the big mistake that Zuckerborg made. It should be free facebook.<p>Do you want free facebook? Many people would say yes.<p>&quot;Free Basics by Facebook provides free access to basic internet services to a billion people all over the world. Your service can be part of it. &quot;<p>The fb site makes it &quot;free access to basic internet&quot; which it is not. It&#x27;s free access to facebook. Just say that, and maybe you won&#x27;t get all the push back.<p>It&#x27;s not the critics who made this distinction or picked this fight. It&#x27;s Zuckerborg.<p>If you really want to offer free basic internet, then do that. I am sure fb could if it wanted to offer a limited amount of bandwidth to any user who wants it for free to do with as they choose. Then they might actually be doing something positive for the poor of India, rather than trying to corral them into fb in the name of free basic internet.
