A Kenyan court is hearing Facebook’s parent company Meta’s bid to stop a lawsuit accusing it of exploitation and poor working conditions, among other things.
Meta is attempting to have the case dismissed, claiming that the local employment and labor relations court lacks jurisdiction because it is neither based nor trades in Kenya.
In March, 43 moderators at Facebook’s moderation center in the east African country announced that they had filed a lawsuit against Meta, the platform’s parent company, for wrongful termination.
