Imagine that the internet bundles by the internet service providers, in developing countries, offer free Nostr and Bitcoin connection, instead of the Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter.
Imagine that the rest developing countries besides Africa, have projects like Machankura, to enable Bitcoin adoption for those with old feature phones, without internet connection.
the reason service providers offer free facebook access, is because they're paid to do so by facebook. the point is to create a de facto walled garden, where facebook, in practice, becomes "the internet" for that region.
so you're basically asking me to imagine a reality where a for-profit company works against their own best financial interests, for the benefit of society as a whole.
which is i guess a long way of saying, it'd be awesome, but i'm not holding my breath.
