NEW DELHI: Social media giant Facebook said on Thursday that it will not withdraw its controversial zero-rated platform Internet.org from India despite scathing criticism from a top government committee, but will rather open it up further to newer telecom operators in order to provide internet access to the unconnected.

I'm confused.

How did tht breach the ''net neutrality'' :-/
All content are not equal footing in Facebook's internet.org. for example it's good that it's free for consumers but you cannot Google search on internet.org.
