37% rural youth sans Internet access: Study
Internet rights groups have accused Facebook of making “unfounded and divisive attacks” on critics of its program to bring low-end Web service to India’s rural poor.
Since Indian regulators in late December requested that Facebook halt Free Basics until it turned over more information about the terms of the program, the social media giant has been trying to drum up support for the initiative.
Facebook has partnered with Indian carrier Reliance to deliver Free Basics, which offers free access to a limited number of websites, including Facebook, for users who do not pay for mobile data plans.
