atata turavura despre colonizare? Colonizarea este buna pentru
colonizati ne spun colonistii. Si trebuie sa ii credem ca ei au toti
banii iar banii e dreptate.
That Marc Andreessen—a Silicon Valley stalwart and member of Facebook’s board of directors—wouldn’t exactly be thrilled about Free Basics not taking off in India was entirely understandable.
However, the American venture capitalist decided to channel his disappointment by engaging in a Twitter argument, where he essentially asked Indians to be okay with colonialism.
On Wednesday morning (India time), Andreessen, who co-founded Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital firm with more than $4 billion under management, said this on Twitter:
Anti-colonialism has been economically catastrophic for the Indian people for decades. Why stop now?
The tweet was subsequently deleted.
On Feb. 08, India’s telecom regulator barred differential pricing for internet services in the country, sealing an ongoing debate in favour of net neutrality. Its decision came as a setback for Facebook, which had been aggressively lobbying for Free Basics—an initiative to provide free but limited internet access—in India.
Andreessen’s comment was part of a Twitter conversation between Vikram Chachra, founding partner at Eight Innovate, a seed stage investor in Indian startups, where the latter called Facebook’s attempts to promote Free Basics “internet colonialism.”
Expectedly, Twitter’s response to Andreessen’s lack of sensitivity was swift:
Now @facebook Board Director @pmarca suggests being colonized was good for India & we should've let Fb do so:) pic.twitter.com/kq7ZsNTQGl

And this is how Andreessen concluded this particular Twitter interaction:
I hereby withdraw from all future discussions of Indian economics or politics. 😀 Carry on…
