Net neutrality debate on the rise with Facebook’s Internet.org

Facebook’s Internet.org initiative is receiving both growing attention and controversy in India. A day after CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s visit to the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, savetheinternet.in has published an open letter, claiming that ‘it is a matter of distress that Facebook…has sought to undermine Net Neutrality in India’. In his defense, Zuckerberg emphasises that Internet.org is ‘an open platform that any developer can build something for, regardless of who they are, as long as they follow the basic rules of what Internet.org is.’.
