I Support Digital India, But I haven’t changed my fb picture because..

DIGITAL INDIA – A Flagship Programme of the Government of India with a vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society as well as a knowledge economy.

Yes, I am a proud Indian, and I support Digital India too, but I am absolutely not supporting Facebook's Internet.org Project.

Yesterday, Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met at Facebook’s Headquarter. The Historic meeting between PM Modi and Zuckerberg went great.

Hours after this event, Facebook launched a tool that allows you to change your Facebook profile picture to a Tricolor shade of Indian Flag, just like few months back 30 Millions Facebook users had changed their Profile picture with Rainbow color to support "Gay Marriages."

What would Facebook get in return for supporting Digital India??

India is one of the biggest market for Facebook. Therefore, Facebook’s support for Digital India could indirectly mean to market its Internet.org project.

Now coming back to the colorful barrage of Facebook DPs. Updating your profile pic is no biggie. However, by carrying out this monotonous task, you have invariably allowed Facebook to record your vote against net neutrality.

Apparently, as this post uploaded by The Hacker News depicts, the HTML source code slyly records your approval to Internet.org, nullifying your support for net neutrality.

Facebook, in collaboration with six companies, including Samsung, Media Tek, Software Nokia, Opera, Ericsson, and Qualcomm, launched Internet.org that aims at providing Free Internet services to developing nations.

This move by Facebook is not exactly what it looks like. It seems to be a move to finish our Internet freedom and Net Neutrality, the one we are fighting for long.

Here’s Why:

The Facebook’s free Internet service will be available to Reliance users only.

Internet.org gives ‘free access’ only to Facebook and its 50 partner websites, which limits Internet users to stick to those services only.

This Facebook Project is not giving Free Internet to people, instead giving free access to manipulated-Internet that Facebook wants users to see.

Isn’t this violation of Net Neutrality? When Internet provider will decide what we are going to see on the Internet.

Okay, let’s think  Facebook really wants to provide Free Internet access to those poor people who cannot afford data packages provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

But think about it, if a person is unable to afford data packs, how can he afford a device which supports the internet access.

So if you have not changed your FB profile photo for reasons, you probably did the right thing.
