Why Facebook’s push to end poverty is actually self-serving

(Feb. 16) – Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg wants to end poverty, but lately his approach is coming under fire. He’s called lifting 400 million out of poverty “perhaps one of the greatest things we can do in the world.” Zuckerberg regularly says that for every 10 people who gain Internet access, one person is raised out of poverty. Facebook launched Internet.org to seize these huge benefits for humanity.
