&gt;it&#x27;s just that Hindi Wikipedia and Google suck<p>And you think enabling tens of millions of people to access these resources will make them....worse?<p>Wikipedia is a community encyclopedia, by its very nature it gets better the more people access and use it, the more editors there are translating articles from other languages, etc.<p>You have not listed a single thing that would make it a net positive for a corporation to decide which sites millions of people should and should not be able to visit.<p>This is to say nothing of the next whatsapp or facebook - this plan is obviously about preventing competition.<p>You say they use the internet for communication first, is it any wonder Facebook&#x2F;WhatsApp wants to ensure they control what mediums of communication are accessible throughout India?<p>What do you say to the Indian coder who today is working on his WhatsApp competitor?  tough shit, facebook already bought the internet in this country?
