True. But FBs target markets were emerging ones, especially India, South East Asia, South America, etc.

I remember seeing huge branding spend via ads and hoarding all across India. With a billion population and 500+ million potential market, India is an important market for FB.

Also while TRAI, the regulating authority in India is phenomenol, the concept of compensation to users is non existent.

TRAI takes preventative and corrective actions policy wise, but does not take any actions that can compensate users.
