Facebook's hyper agressive growth strategy includes targeting fresh internet users in poor countries where most people access internet via mobile.
They partner with local mobile operators to offer 'free unlimited data' for accessing Facebook and its ecosystem, while the rest of the internet is 'paid.'
For most of the new internet users, Facebook is the internet. It's the most efficient data harvesting operation, maybe ever.
Geee sounds a lot like how world coin operated with eyeball scanner 🤨
I heard about this 15 years ago. I guess the media doesn't want us to know.
First we agree & this isn’t directed at you. Just my feels considering …
The irony of people in US getting upset 😭
FFS 🙈 most willingly fed the #AI the last 20 years or more.
We didn’t have a precedent for how bad this was going to get. Silly us.
Especially not for dealing with the vultures that definitely swooped in …
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions” rings deafeningly loud.
Empathy. 🫂 but Not if we thank #Satoshi
In the sense we try to build a better world outside of it … but ima very much a no revenge cause below has always proven true in this lifetime 🫂✨
We won't come after you, we'd only end up provin'
In the end, revenge sends zen to the defendant
I know that statement's true, I wear it like a pendant
AOL never did that.
wow that's fucked
zuckerberg is the global coup-primer guy. probably.
Getting people online isn't because it's out of the goodness of the companies hearts

#tollgate would be a good competitor to get up and running for this.

They only need to start paying once they send traffic through a gateway, because they are using someone else's infrastructure at that point. #TollGate enables anyone with access to a gateway to undercut facebook's data plans.
I do find it alarming. I was in Costa Rica last month and every billboard and advertisement locals would have their Whatsapp number as contact info
No counter party risk there… nope
CR is 100% captured in that regard. I closed my fb over 10 years ago. Move to CR only to find merchants don't have web pages. All just FB. All communication is whatsapp
Damn if AOL could see what they missed out on…
