- Internet services/sites are whitelisted - essentially by Facebook.
- ISP tracking is baked into consumers' access. (Like Verizon's SuperCookies, which have just been rolled back for US consumers.)
- Select developers get to develop for the web ... but based off permission from higher ups. Because we all trust Facebook as a caretaker of a dev platform... we already know there will arbitrary rate-limiting for these devs.
The best part of Facebook's story was that Zuck didn't need permission to build it. How ironic...
Facebook has hijacked the word "Internet" for this initiative.
At best this is a whitewashed and severely limited offering that works against the push for real Internet access. And it sets all of the worst kinds of precedents for first-time users across the world.
As for the PR spin around this campaign, some words that come to mind: "disingenuous", "delusional".
