Mark Zuckerberg compares Facebook access to critical services like 911

Discussing Internet.org, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, "The model that we consider this to be most similar to is 911 in the US. So even if you haven’t paid for a phone plan, you can always dial 911, and if there is a crime or a health emergency or a fire, you get basic help...And we think there should be an equivalent of this for the Internet as well -- where even if you haven’t paid for a data plan, you can get access to basic health information or education or job tools or basic communication tools, and it will vary, country by country."

By communication tools he means Facebook. So yes, he just compared commenting on photos of your friend's awesome brunch with the ability to reach your local police during a home invasion. No one is knocking the basic goal of spreading Internet access across the globe. But Zuckerberg's attempt to position Internet.org as a well-meaning charity making purely utilitarian choices about what users can and can't access is feeling increasingly strained.
