A number of parties joined under the banner of savetheinternet.in criticized that internet.org is not entirely free and is not a charitable organization, which .org domain name usually used for an organization.
Facebook then responded to criticism by changing the name of its free internet service at the end of 2015 as the Free Basics. Similarly, as quoted from the pages of The Economist, last Saturday.
In addition, critics also argue that if Internet users in India and other developing countries spend most of their time on the Facebook wall, indirectly will force other businesses to set up shop on Facebook than on their own website or any other website.
It also would give enormous power to Facebook. In fact, a survey held last year found that millions of Facebook users in poor and developing countries, not realizing that they actually use the internet.
Not only that, some critics believe that services like Free Basics likened fenced garden, which all content must be approved Facebook first.
On the other hand, it is feared these services may threaten the privacy of the customers by taking the data when accessing the service, and seems to have an anti-competitive attitude.
Furthermore, it is explained when a new Internet user is a user of Facebook, obviously other online businesses have no choice but to operate in the ecosystem are made up.
Facebook also refute the notion that, by stating that the service is open to all those with specific requirements.
Security related, Facebook said that user data will only be stored for 90 days. Plus, this service does not have a profit motive, because it does not include advertising in it.
Related charges will kill competition, social media made Mark Zuckerberg mentioned that there was no threat is better for local innovation rather than making people offline. Zuckerberg also said, the presence of Free Basics should be able to encourage mobile operators to provide cheaper service.
India's decision to discontinue the service was also attended by Egypt. However, for reasons that remain unclear. However, some parties considered the move was made to begin to restrict Internet access to the people of Egypt.
