Nobody is asserting that, or even hinting at it. You have to have the most sensitive, assumptive and skeptical, upside reading of that to suggest that 'Having Facebook Available' as some kind of statement in support of 'One Truth'.

Modi's government is one of the most corrupt and dysfunctional in thew world and becoming excessively authoritarian.

Facebook, with it's obvious shortcomings, is one reasonably managed voice among many.

On the whole, having a fairly open Facebook is considerably better than having a Completely Corrupt Modi Facebook.

Facebook is not a tool or organ of the US and is not an organ of US state propaganda.

While some of the 'New Rules' seem reasonable, others definitely do not, and have authoritarian implications [1] including direct government oversight over some forms of content.

" I am quite sure the local people there are not wishing for someone from outside to come and save them."

I'm pretty sure that people would like access to critical information wherever they are.

I don't use FB, I don't care about it, but I would go to my first protest ever if my government tried to politicize it.
