New Delhi, Following allegations of collecting votes for ‘Internet.org’ using Digital India profile pic, Facebook issued as statement clarifying that it was not their intention.
Social networking giant defended itself on the ‘Internet.org’ profile picture imbroglio and said that the issue on the site was a mistake by an engineer which had nothing to do with Internet.org’s publicity plans in the country.
“There is absolutely no connection between updating your profile picture for ‘Digital India’ and Internet.org. An engineer by mistake used the words ‘Internet.org profile picture’ as a shorthand name he chose for part of the code,” a Facebook spokesperson said.
“But this product in no way connects to or registers support for Internet.org. We are changing the code today to eliminate any confusion,” he added.
