The internet neutrality argument is heating up. Almost weekly after Facebook found its contentious “Save Free Basics” effort on the social network, the volunteer directed net neutrality group savetheinternet.in has been mobilised again to encourage individuals to give their support for an unfettered Internet in India.

Facebook started its “Save Free Basics” effort last week, encouraging users to reveal support for digital equality in India, in response to a paper by the telecom regulator that is seeking opinions on differential pricing practices for example Airtel Zero of Facebook’s Free Basics, which was previously called Internet.org.

The link claims to support “digital independence”, and prompts users to send an e-mail to the telecom regulator, saying non- execution of Free Basics will keep 1 billion individuals from coming online.

Facebook yet, said it wasn’t abusing its market dominance. “Facebook makes no cash, and runs no advertising on Facebook in Free Basics.

“We have been attempting to mobilise savetheinternet.in for a couple of days but the challenge we are facing is folks believe they’ve done their bit already,” said Nikhil Pahwa, creator of internet portal site Medianama, who has been instrumental in bringing web neutrality to the fore in India.
It was likewise an essential part of mobilising the over 70,000 opinions on a Department of Telecommunications’ draft report that sought propositions on web neutrality from users through its MyGov.in platform in August.
