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.
ISO 10646 does not work as you describe. I'm pretty sure most of the character encodings defined by creating a custom font were never standardized by ISO.
• 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.
> I'd also like to note that TRAI has usually been on the side of user's
What about when it goes against users ? Even now, it has gone against some users. Why do you think its a good thing for <1000 people (TRAI) to affect 1.25 billion ?
The goverment intervention was absolutely unnecessary. They should have left it to market to judge.
What if I dont want the regulation as a citizen ? What then ? There are so many issues, so many opinions in the world today. I bet diversity of opinions has never been highest. How should we move as a democracy when everyone has different direction in mind ? Free market is the only solution I can think of.
I acknowledge that not everyone can think/worry about everything. Hence why there would be always need of regulatory/look-out-for-me authorities. However, in this fast paced and diverse world, I propose that they should be opt-in/opt-out.
common, it is not even a decision. it is merely a remark that TRAI has observed the misleading campaign by fb.

Regulation is necessary, we cannot let the giants pollute the open internet
for me it shows first two letters of the email itself. I might have used the username itself as a password in some random site, but this is/was not my gmail password :)
