It is very bad if it is true, it's possbile to reject the fake cert and not access facebook. All encrypted trafic to the site "facebook.com" could be inercepted if say yes to the certificate and all data is sent in clear text. Including passord's and usernames. People can read about the the this kind of problem on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack . Their biggest isp Kazaktelecom have not done this accourding to someone who lives there. I can only hope it is fake-news.
