Meta is being sued by dozens of former content moderators employed by Sama, Facebook's subcontractor. They accuse both companies of "unfair dismissal" and "anti-union" manoeuvres.

But Facebook says the Kenyan judiciary is not competent to judge this case. In total, Meta is the subject of 3 lawsuits, including one filed by two Ethiopians and a researcher claiming that during the war in Tigray, Facebook failed to filter hate speech, and sometimes even encouraged it, thus contributing to inflaming the conflict.
