Wow, such holier than thou attitude.<p>Anything thinking the problem is that the poor people aren&#x27;t connected enough is seriously misinformed. India connected over 300mil people last year, and guess what, Facebook&#x27;s effort only contributed ~1% of that number.<p>Not to mention, over the long term, the very real problem that the Facebook walled garden of apps would present in terms of opportunities for entrepreneurs is much more urgent in an emerging economy like India. India has tried (and is still trying) subsidies for the poor, that hasn&#x27;t helped. Facebook wanted everyone to go through their platform before reaching those users. Will that help the guy from the small town who just created an app? No it won&#x27;t.<p>So yeah, your condescending comparisons to Egypt and your &quot;think of the poor!&quot; argument is the exact same thing Zuckerberg said in his op-ed in Times of India. It didn&#x27;t work then and it is not gonna work now.
