Facebook’s free service Internet.org has faced criticism in India, but it appears that the social network hasn’t given up on it yet. It has now decided to re-brand the product to ‘Free Basic of Facebook’. The app as well as web platform offers access to more than 250 services, which are now available in 19 countries across the globe including India. Free Basic users will also get access to 60 new free services.
The CEO will be visiting India for the second time this year. Last year, he had visited a ‘cyber village’ in Rajasthan’s Alwar district. India has the largest Facebook user base outside the US. In June, the company had said 125 million users of its global base of 1.44 billion come from India.
