They oppose free access to education and such?

Also, what is wrong if they want to offer free access to health care sites and employment sites?

“It can’t be that the rich get access to the entire Internet and the poor get access only to Facebook.” So what? At least they’ll get free access to something rather than nothing. Weird. I guess they’re saying that the poor must be given free stuff by everyone, not just Zuckerberg. Of course, the internet is a right, just like housing, health care, and food.

Are they forced to take the free access?

When I walk by someone handing out free samples of anything, I have the choice to either take it or not take it.

If the activists want people to have free access to the entire internet, they can supply it. Meanwhile, it just seems to me that if Facebook can supply free limited internet to people who don’t have any, that is better than nothing.
