Indians rage over Zuckerberg incorrect India map on Facebook
New York, May 16
Indian netizens are angry
with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg after he posted a map of India sans
Jammu & Kashmir, Forbes reported.
Zuckerberg posted the image
on his Facebook page following the launch earlier this week in Malawi
of the Facebook-led Internet.org.
However, several Indian net
users were not amused by the graphic which missed what many Indians call
"an inseparable part of India" -- the state of Jammu & Kashmir. So
much so that some on the social media also called for a ban on Facebook
if the map was not immediately corrected.
Zuckerberg later deleted his post.
Zuckerberg and Facebook have already been facing a tough time in India
recently as Internet.org has come under attack from net neutrality
advocates.
Internet.org is aimed at providing free internet
access to billions by offering select content and services for free to
those who cannot afford or do not want to pay for internet access.
