The Kenyan justice has again suspended the dismissals of nearly 200 content moderators who worked for the American company in Kenya. They were employed through a contractor, Sama, to handle content moderation in East and South Africa for Meta. Sama having decided to stop this activity, she announced in January the dismissal of 260 moderators for the end of March. 184 of them filed a complaint against Meta and Sama, denouncing an “unfair dismissal”. Pending a trial on the merits, the Nairobi Labor Court made several decisions on Friday June 2.
