NAIROBI: A Kenyan court on Monday rejected a bid by Facebook's parent company Meta to stop a lawsuit accusing it of exploitation and poor working conditions.

The case was brought by a former content moderator at Sama, a company contracted by Meta to review Facebook posts, and alleges that workers in Kenya were subjected to inhumane conditions, including forced labour, irregular pay and no right to unionise.
