I wonder it it would be feasible to tunnel the "real internet" through Facebook using (for example) their chat client (you'd need something on the other end to make the connection). Like tunneling a VPN over DNS queries. That would be a clever work-around.

I heard about some more, but didn't bookmark them :<

Sadly this doesn’t work with http://0.facebook.com/, the version of Free Basics available in Germany.

Maybe this one http://code.kryo.se/iodine/ ?

Well, there you go! It _was_ a good idea.

Probably violates the TOS, or if it doesn't right now, as soon as it's implemented, it will. Not that I have any moral opposition, but it'd be risking a pretty quick account ban.

It doesn't have to be facebook, any of the whitelisted websites could potentially be used as a proxy.

Since they have their advertising bots and learning machines reading all that stuff all of the time, it would only be a matter of time before they shut that hole (if it gained a decent amount of popularity)

I was considering doing something similar a while ago, since here in New Zealand, we get free facebook on mobile (0.facebook.com).

I'm fairly sure that FB has things in place to stop you from using bots to send messages though, in an attempt to stop spam.
