Several people have informed us of instances where they’ve been incorrectly shown as supporting Facebook’s FreeBasics, when they don’t. Please see the footnote for examples.
One way of addressing this situation is to email TRAI to correct your stand. You can do two things:
Firstly, tell the TRAI that Facebook’s claim of your support for FreeBasics is not valid. You can mail the following letter to [email protected].
Secondly, send an email to the TRAI indicating your actual stand to the TRAI. A sample is available at www.savetheinternet.in, along with a tool that helps your mail the TRAI.
Of course, if you support FreeBasics, then please ignore this message. Every Indian citizen has a right to her point of view, and we would urge you to participate in this democratic and important process from the TRAI.
Thanks, The SaveTheInternet Team
