I’m don’t really like Facebook but I don’t really get this argument.

How is it facebook’s fault that regular SMS is so bad in these countries that their platform is preferable?

What’s stopping the government from launching their own platform if they want a utility?

And why is it that if you make a product that ends up really popular then suddenly you’re a utility?
