NAIROBI: Some 184 content moderators and Facebook’s parent company Meta have agreed to pursue an out of court settlement in a lawsuit claiming unfair dismissal, court documents seen by AFP show.
The layoffs, announced in January, came after the ending of a contract between Meta and Sama, a company hired to moderate Facebook content in east and southern Africa since 2019.
