Sacked Kenya moderators say mediation with Meta collapses

Facebook content moderators in Kenya said settlement talks to resolve a labour lawsuit against the social media behemoth’s parent Meta collapsed on Monday, setting the stage for a renewed court battle.

In March, 184 moderators sacked by Sama, a company contracted by Meta to review Facebook posts, brought a lawsuit claiming unfair dismissal and alleging that workers in Kenya were subjected to inhumane conditions, including forced labour and irregular pay.
