WASHINGTON: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg,
in a recent interview with Bloomberg, compared
access to the social network with access to
critical services like 911.
According to the Verge, Zuckerberg said that
he considered the model to be most similar to is
911 in the US, adding that even if one had not
paid for a phone plan, the person could always
dial 911, and if there is a crime or a health
emergency or a fire, one get basic help.
He said that there should be an equivalent of
this for the internet as well -- where even if
one hasn't paid for a data plan, the person can
get access to basic health information or
education or job tools or basic communication
tools, and it will vary, country by country.
