Leo Mirani explains the consequences of Facebook users in the developing world who have no idea they're using the internet, or believe that Facebook IS the internet.
Recently, Leo Mirani, a journalist for Quartz, wrote an article about Facebook users in the developing world who either have no idea they're using the internet, or believe that Facebook IS the internet.
Leo argues that's because in emerging economies, it's free or much cheaper to access Facebook on phones rather than the open internet, and this has real consequences for the next billion internet users.
