Improved Internet access can be a force for peace Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said Wednesday during a trip to Colombia to promote his project to boost web availability for the two-thirds of the world not yet connected. The project, dubbed "internet.org" and launched with other big tech companies including Samsung and Nokia, aims to improve web access and reduce mobile phone costs in developing countries. "Giving the people the tools of connectivity is important in itself to create communication," Zuckerberg said at a press conference in Bogota. "The Internet as a whole and social media will bring reconciliation and peace," he added, alluding to Colombia's more than 50-year-old armed conflict with the leftist FARC rebels, in which peace talks are currently under way.
