A Kenyan outsourcing firm contracted by Meta abruptly fired dozens of content‑moderation workers shortly after they organized for better pay and mental‑health protections. Workers say they were targeted for union activity and for raising concerns about exposure to graphic and traumatic content. The company denies retaliation and claims the dismissals were part of restructuring. Labor advocates say the case highlights how global tech companies rely on outsourced labor while distancing themselves from accountability for working conditions.
