Can't help but notice the favicon being a Facebook icon.

I guess that for many people, Facebook _is_ the internet.

jrochkind112y ago

oh my god, facebook is the new AOL.

I thought it was some stupidity done by my work's proxy.

What's with that again?

Strange.

Facebook did not exist yet in 1993 (Facebook.com itself was registered in 1997)

I know, but the question is then: who had it before?

Not only the favicon but http://www.whois.net/whois/internet.org says:

I didn't get it when I first saw this post. Now that I'm checking it on a computer, I'm getting a blank page. Works like a charm on my iPhone. Same Wi-Fi, same DNS.

zapu12y ago

Same here.

In thinking about this...Am wondering if this is not an unexpected malfunction. If this works via mobile and not, say, via desktop web browser, doesn't that depict the whole point of the site/initiative: That not everyone can equally experience the internet, or has equal access to the internet? If I'm right, this is a clever albeit very, very subtle method to help folks feel what "lack of internet" is like. Welcome to the internet of the third world?

I can't understand why we're bothered about Internet.org - a Facebook-backed effort launched in Aug 2013 - being down?

Unless some of us are thinking it's something else? Like the Internet Archive (that's www.archive.org)?

Uhm, who cares?
