Facebook sued over conditions

Attorneys for a man who once worked as a content moderator for Facebook have filed a lawsuit accusing the company of exploitative and unsafe working conditions. The case against Meta Platforms, Facebook’s parent company, and the outsourcing firm Sama was lodged Tuesday with a court in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Daniel Motaung’s petition “calls upon Kenya’s courts to order Facebook and its outsourcing companies to end exploitation in its Nairobi moderation hub, where content moderators work in dangerous conditions.”
