Facebook Opens Free Internet to Developers, But won't Support HTTPS Encryption

After facing much criticism for violation of Net Neutrality, Facebook has opened up its new Internet.org platform to developers for creating their apps and services in India and other countries.

Facebook's Internet.org aims at offering free Internet access to "the next 5 billion" impoverished people around the world who currently don't have it.

This current move now would potentially allow any website to be accessed for free via the Internet.org service, but only in the case, if the website ditches the encrypted communications (HTTPS), JavaScript, and other important things.
