Court rules Meta can be sued in Kenya
Meta has lost a bid to stop a Kenyan court from hearing a case against them which alleges poor working conditions. While Meta wanted the case dismissed, saying that Kenyan courts have no jurisdiction since it is not domiciled nor does it trade from Kenya, a judge has rejected the argument.
Former content moderator, Daniel Motaung, says he was paid about $2.20 (拢1.80) per hour to review posts including beheadings and child abuse, and says that the job advert failed to warn of the extreme content moderators would see.
