[kictanet] Day 2 Talk2Facebook ~ Data Protection

Hi Teacher Karis,

There was this issue raised by @Brian Longwe <blongwe at gmail.com> about his
Safaricom line getting a new owner and the person attempting to change his
FaceBook password using the same. I wonder whether Facebook might take some
action in light of this development to protect user data in cases where
they lose the lines they used to open the account.

Best Regards
