Thanks for sharing Arsene. Very harsh language has been used in this article. The "you" in the article is so broad and so general that the argument posed sound pretty baseless. I agree with Ayden, the headline is very provocative. I thought I was very "honest" when I argue about net neutrality but the author accuses me otherwise, at least me. I didn't use the word "we" deliberately because again, that would have been too general. The reason I don't like free basics or the author giving away free drinks to grab people's email addresses or someone on the street giving away free homeopathic prescription and then directing you to his pharmacy to make the purchase (I heard this story yesterday :]), its all unethical. I believe the only reason there are more people "hating" facebook and not wikipedia or google is because the scale and impact of free basics is much larger and its actually transforming the meaning of the internet and as well as other businesses such as the domain name business. On the other hand, I also believe people are generally accepting free basics and its kinds and are rather less vocal about its business and policy impact at national level.
