[kictanet] Day 2 Talk2Facebook ~ Data Protection

[Kelvin Kariuki]

Thank you Twahir, Mutemi & Walu for your input. We hope the FB Personnel on
the list will respond to
some of the issues you have raised.

Indeed we thought this particular topic on Data Protection will elicit more
responses than we've got,
the floor is still open and you don't necessarily need to respond to the
set questions, you can raise any
other issue around Data Protection of Facebook.

Tomorrow we talk about "Human Rights & Transparency". Thank you all!
