Helping the poor is a red herring. Facebook could easily give fair, unbiased acccess, but they want a monopoly.

Would you be so apologetic if Comcast gave everyone free NBC streaming but charged more for Netflix?

How could Facebook give everyone unfettered access? Wouldn't that involve paying for everyone's data plan?
The amount of money they used for lobbying and andverts was enough for them to pay for actual costs of internet packs if they worked with carriers on that
By not using a man-in-the-middle vulnerable proxy and giving fair and unbiased access to all websites.

Who said they would be paying for everyone's data access?
