India being the largest democratic nation has many users on Facebook and its products. Facebook announced a new free internet services to Indians through Internet.org scheme. Recently there has been a news that India bans Free Internet from Facebook.
Actually the free Internet service by Facebook is that users can surf the provided sites at free of cost without costing any mobile data if activated. TRAI (#Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) has banned this service in India.
In order to access the free internet services the user has to be a reliance user and only some of the sites are provided at free of cost and not all sites. This is against the net neutrality policy of India.
There has been a debate in many forums that this act of Facebook will make users to use only their sites and not any which is purely against the Net Neutrality policy of India.
Considering this, TRAI has asked the Reliance service provider to temporarily ban the Facebook's free internet service and Facebook has yet to comment on this issue.
There is no comment from Facebook side as of now.
P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
