halfcentaur··on Opposition to Facebook's new internet.org
I'm pretty sure most of these counter points are Facebook team accounts.

Reasonable short term counterpoints to opposing Internet.org exist —more access and faster. Facebook is leveraging those counter points into a market strategy that undermines one of the central value propositions of the current open internet.

It's defensible; it's not all bad. But its not ideal; it is distinctively bad in a serious way.

Ideally Facebook would promote access to the open web, rather than undermine it by promoting access to the Facebook version.
