Facebook’s launch of Internet.org triggers debate over the internet recently, particularly on the issue of Net Neutrality. Internet.org facilitates zero-rating apps scheme, which is a violation of Net Neutrality according to internet activist.
The lack of encryption is also another concern although Facebook answered it by saying that there’s no need to worry because Internet.org does not require JavaScript or any HTTPS on the URL and that the company uses encryption for security.
Another major concern with Internet.org is the issue of privacy as users will be required to provide their mobile number whenever they access websites through Internet.org. which may lead to compromise of information.
