New Delhi: Irked by Facebook’s campaign to save its zero-rating platform Free Basics, telecom regulator Trai on Wednesday accused Facebook of turning the whole debate into a “crudely majoritarian and orchestrated opinion poll”, something which could have “dangerous ramification for policy making in India.”
Facebook India, however, claimed that it is being singled out. The issue of Free Basics has come into forefront after Trai issued a consultation paper on whether telecom operators should be allowed to charge consumers differently for accessing different websites or apps. In its letter, Trai said that the template response send by Facebook users does not address the questions raised in the consultation paper.
