Nairobi. A Kenyan court on Monday
rejected a bid by Facebook's parent company Meta to stop a case accusing it of
exploitation and poor working conditions.
The
suit was filed by a former content moderator at Sama, a company contracted by
Meta to review Facebook posts, and alleges that workers in Kenya were subjected
to inhumane conditions, including forced labour, irregular pay and no right to
unionise.
