Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is denouncing Mark Andreessen's recent statements about India. Andreesen, a venture capitalist and Facebook board member, has been criticized for his words descending the company's free basics program. In a now deleted tweet, Andreesen wrote Anti- colonialism has been economically catastrophic for the indian people for decades. Why stop now? In a Facebook post, Zuckerberg calls Andreesen's comments deeply upsetting, and said they don't represent Facebook or his own beliefs. The company shut down the Free Basics program in India after critics said it violated net neutrality. Free basics was intended to help people in developing nations get free basic internet service. On social media, many calls and raised their comments pro colonialism. One person said, maybe the world's poorest can think for themselves. Another Twitter calls him ignorant about Indian history and culture Noting it's the largest market for Facebook after the U. S. Andreessen has since issued an apology on Twitter, calling his comments ill- informed and ill- advised about Indian politics and economics. [ BLANK_AUDIO }
