Everybody is so busy with updating their Facebook profiles with new #DigitalIndia filter to show up their support for Digital India Campaign. This quick review on Facebook new Tri-colour filter will let you know the valuable facts behind this filter.

Since our Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi visit Facebook HQ and had a chat with Mark Zuckerberg gave raise to a Tri-colour filter. Narendra Modi and Mark Zuckerberg are the first to change their FB Profile pics to this filter to show up their support for Digital India. And the chain continued changing most of the FB profile pics to this filter.

Some change their facebook profile pictures to this filter without even knowing what happening around and just because the filter looks great and colourful.

We all thought by turning our FB profile picture to awesome filter means we took part in support #DigitalIndia. But some facts on internet will mislead our way. Here is the way actually they thought and the final solution for all the misleads.

Facebook uses Support Digital India campaign for Internet.org

No you heard it wrong. All the support you are showing by changing Facebook profile pictures to a Tri-colour Indian flag hue filter dont have any connection with Internet.org

The source code of the profile picture gives you a clear idea about that.

 Most of the websites say that the class name "_internetOrgProfilePicture_prideAvatar" connects to Internet.org. But however its a programmers choice to use any name as Class name and that doesn't make any sense. There is no connection between Digital India and Internet.org states the spokesperson from Facebook.

Update:  There is absolutely no connection between updating your profile picture for digital India and Internet.org. An engineer mistakenly used the words “Internet.org profile picture” as a shorthand name he chose for part of the code. But this product in no way connects to or registers support for Internet.org. We are changing the code today to eliminate any confusion.

Facebook state that they are sending the statistics of people who support Digital India by changing their facebook profile pictures to the Indian Govt. for better idea to know how people react for Digital India campaign. You are no more anti to Net Neutrality.

So you can change your Facebook Profile Picture with no more worries and show your support for Digital India Campaign.
