Facebook Parent Meta Sued in Kenya by Former Content Moderator

Daniel Motaung remembers watching a video of a beheading while he worked as an outsourcedFacebook content moderatorin Kenya.

Viewing violent and graphic content, he said, ended up taking him to a place he never imagined.

And because of that, my quality of life has changed drastically," he said during a virtualdiscussionTuesday.

“I don’t look forward to going outside.

I don’t look forward to going in public spaces.”

Meta spokesperson Grant Klinzman declined to comment on the lawsuit.

The company has previously said it takes its responsibilities tocontent reviewersseriously.

It requires partner companies to provide competitive pay, benefits and support and that it routinely audits those companies.

In short, Facebook moderators sacrifice their own health to protect the public," the lawsuit said.
