GG,

This is definitely very welcome.

My wish and I believe that of many currently would be to have Talk to Safaricom first before Facebook. My reasoning is that in the Kenyan context the identity of the person relies heavily on their mobile numbers.

I would also probably say that it might be better to bring all MNO onto the talk as the problems seem to cut across network lines; we feel it more from Safaricom due to it's market share.

My 2 cents 😊

1. The first one will be 'Talk to Facebook', which will be moderated next week by Walubengo and Teacher Karis. They will provide us with more details and when the exact days for the engagement. *This will be followed by a webinar on September 30, 2020 from 15.30-1700 hours. *

2. The second one will be with Safaricom in October. More details including the exact dates will be provided here. But keep the questions coming as they are being noted.

Morning Listers, Polite reminder, talk2Facebook is tomorrow to be kicked off by Kelvin Karis aka Teacher Karis.. If you have time, watch 'The Social Dilemma' on Netflix and/or "The Facebook Dillema" by PBS Frontline on YouTube. It would get your mind upto date on the trending issues that are not limited to Facebook, but affect the whole the digital economy in general. After that you should be ready and set for the 3day Talk2Facebook session. Looking forward to your contributions and ideas. walu.
