theodp writes “As reported earlier on Slashdot, Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday announced the launch of Internet.org, ‘a global partnership with the goal of making internet access available to the next 5 billion people,’ including ‘those who cannot currently afford it.’ So it’s especially bizarre that just a few days ago, Internet.org carried a FAQ which joked that slaves were used to create an Internet for the Pharaohs. And until recently, Internet.org’s home page sported a photo purporting to show that freighters are used to rush Internet porn to affluent residents of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, and an illustration showing how helicopters deliver Internet data to actor George Clooney’s magnificent Lake Como Villa. So keep an eye on how your domain is used, kids, especially if you plan to use it soon to position yourself and your partners as saints who champion the right of the world’s poor to Internet access.”… theodp writes “As reported earlier on Slashdot, Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday announced the launch of Internet.org, ‘a global partnership with the goal of making internet access available to the next 5 billion people,’ including ‘those who cannot currently afford it.’ So it’s especially bizarre that just a few days ago, Internet.org carried a FAQ which joked that slaves were used to create an Internet for the Pharaohs.
