There is another offerings by Facebook Inc. as "Free Basics". There is a talk everywhere on this matter. I am a fan of Mark Zukerberg and obviously who not be. A young man owning a huge company. But still I am not in support of these Free Basics. Many people in Facebook, seeing "Free" word always support it. Even I was one of them but then I got to know what is Facebook. It makes you access to limited and only useful websites and obviously Facebook with Wikipedia, Google search, Bing search, Twitter, and some other important websites. This is Obviously good for the development of Rural India as the usage of internet today in villages and outskirts is really low and also villagers will get access to internet free. But don't you guys think that this might also affect our work. It might not allow us to Download movies from Torrents or from Torrentz.eu. It will not allow us to view unpopular sites which too mean very much to us. Now a days almost each and every student has an access to Internet. They use it for completing their Home Works. They first Google it Out and then they look for the websites from where they can get help. It also contains many unpopular websites from which they can get their valuable information. But these Free basics might not allow us to give access to these websites. I think only Wikipedia will be available by Facebook company. Many of us know that sometimes Wikipedia is also unable to give required information. We need to make and efficient search to get answer. So this not sufficient to get information. This will of course help many rural people but also has many demerits. So because of this demerits and reasons, I am not in support of this "Free basics". Also India's Telecom regulator banned Free Basics. It is not that Facebook is going to pay for you. Your Telecom operators Do. Facebook told that it will be free but it didn't promised that it will remain free. Many of my friends even got bill for this Free Basics. For e.g Airtel(Indian Mobile Operator) takes Rs 5 for adding net pack only for using Facebook. But after activating Free Basics you may get Rs 8 for adding net pack for using Facebook. Many of my friends got this. And yes, the main thing, your net neutrality will be gone. So please do not accept it. Thank you.

DeleteSir thank for sharing this post to some other sources. Some of the merits will be that, you can use Facebook anywhere and upload your selfies :P, You can use this without paying for your mobile Data. It will be slower but still you can get information, Online studying will become easy. These are some of the major merits that Free Basic has. But still its not sufficient.
DeleteNice Blog. Extremely impressed. See if I will give you my account and password, will you make some blogs for me? You may choose any topic. Please do not deny. And by the way I am to not a supporter of not only Free basics but also Facebook. I hate that. It just wastes time by showing us Unnecessary things and adds. Also many of my friends keeps on showing themselves.
ReplyDeleteThank You sir but actually I don't have much time now a days. I am not sure whether I can make blogs for you. But still you may send your email id to me. You may send it at "souravsahu930@gmail.com". And Facebook is not much Bad. It will have some merits as well as demerits. It might be making you jealous. That's why you told as time wasting. I told Free Basics as Fake and I don't like it. But I like Facebook. By this you can stay connected. Please don't feel bad. And it will show ads, and that's how Facebook earns.
