Report overlooked mentioning the malicious machines that could potentially create harmful humans, corrupt societies, incite conflicts, and disrupt harmony.

They weren't using Unicode at all. Instead they were using 'prehistoric' fonts patched by changing the glyphs in ASCII fonts(100s of them). This too without proper conventions. They way to convert these to Unicode is by creating character maps in a font-by-font fashion.

I think it is time for more unicode art. ASCII is so old generation.

common, it is not even a decision. it is merely a remark that TRAI has observed the misleading campaign by fb.

//The goverment intervention was absolutely unnecessary. They should have left it to market to judge. // Regulation is necessary, we cannot let the giants pollute the open internet

Main Points -----

• First, Facebook tried to mislead it's users into sending emails to TRAI which just said "We support Free Basics".

• After receiving hordes of such emails, TRAI picked on Facebook to communicate with the senders in order to advise them to send emails that contained answers to the consultation. Accordingly, TRAI extended the consultation period by 7 days.

• Facebook responded towards the end of the period that they were unable to reach users. Apparently, they claimed in their letter to TRAI that peoples' support for Free Basics in the emails (somehow) translated to answers to TRAI's questions.

• Facebook claimed that 11 million emails were sent to TRAI through their platform. TRAI says it only received 1.89 million.

• TRAI has declared that it has not received any revised responses.
