Kenyan court says it can hear challenge against Meta

Nairobi: A court in Kenya ruled Thursday that it has the jurisdiction to hear a challenge by nearly 200 people who say they were unlawfully sacked by a subcontractor for Facebook’s parent company Meta.

The case brought by 183 content moderators employed in Nairobi by Sama, a subcontractor for Meta, was filed on March 17 in a local court, with the workers claiming “unlawful” dismissal by the social media giant.
