News Facebook Official Marc Andreessen Deletes Tweet Offensive To India

[Technoglitch]

Facebook board member Marc Andreessen has been pummeled for a tweet that appears to say that Indians should have embraced colonialism. He has deleted the tweet.

Mr Andreessen, a well-known Silicon Valley venture capitalist, was weighing in on India banning differential pricing for internet data content, a decision that strikes down Facebook's free internet scheme fronted by founder Mark Zuckerberg.

"Anti-colonialism has been economically catastrophic for the Indian people for decades. Why stop now?" he tweeted.

Bombarded by outraged reactions, Mr Andreessen deleted the tweet. A screenshot, however, is in wide circulation.
