Facebook is demanding Indians love internet.org, even if they don’t want to
The Next Web, Inc. ^ | 8/4/15 | NATE SWANNER

Indian Facebook users are seeing a pop-up message regarding internet.org service. The missive of the message is to gauge if people are interested in free internet service. The problem with the message is that it doesn’t let you say ‘no.’

Here’s a snippet of Quart’z article on Facebook’s heavy-handed approach:

The prompt asks users to “show your support for free basic internet services in India,” a sentiment that is difficult to disagree with. Indeed, that must be why Facebook does not provide the option to disagree. The only possible responses are “Not now” and “Yes, I’m In”.

Facebook exerting its will? I’m thoroughly and completely shocked.

All snark aside, Facebook’s message here leaves no room for dissent, and that’s troubling. India can either embrace internet.org now, or begrudgingly accept it later.
