Facebook is getting the developing world online, even as the developed world criticizes its privacy practices. Mark Zuckerberg said today on Facebook’s Q1 2018 earnings call that “our Internet.org efforts have helped almost 100 million peopel get access to the internet who may not have had it otherwise”. That’s up from 40 million in November 2016. Internet.org uses its Free Basics app with access to low-bandwidth services and Express Wi-fi hotspots operated by local merchants to give people connectivity.
