Description

Using the website (presumably using the command line tool too), there is no way to link a Facebook page to a Keybase account.

The Facebook verification process seems only able to validate the proof if posted on a personal profile timeline. Not when posted on a Facebook page.

As a typical use case, when using a Facebook Page to promote a business, it might be desirable to prove the identity of the "owner" of that page.

Possibly related to #2949

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Facebook verification process on the website and command line tool, along with related issue #2949. Determine how proofs from personal profile timelines are validated and define equivalent handling for Facebook pages. Done means a Facebook page can be linked to a Keybase account and its ownership can be verified.
