A | NAIROBI, Kenya -- The lawyer representing 184 former Facebook content moderators based in Kenya who sued the site's parent company, Meta, over working conditions and pay told the judge Monday that Meta has not been sincere in trying to reach an out-of-court settlement as agreed in the last court session.Lawyer Mercy Mutemi said the talks had collapsed and the former moderators want to proceed with a contempt of court case against Meta.“The petitioners gave it their best effort. They attended every mediation. The respondents asked for information which we gave them. They kept saying they would get back to us by a certain date but only got back to us at the end of last week with a very small amount that cannot even take care of the petitioners’ mental health,” she told the court. She described Meta as “not genuine.”The moderators were employed via Sama, a San Francisco subcontractor that describes itself as an ethical AI company, to work in its hub in the capital, Nairobi. Their job entailed screening user content in 12 African languages and removing any uploads deemed to breach Facebook’s community standards and terms of service.Some of the petitioners have told The Associated Press that their job required them to watch horrific content for eight hours a day that overwhelmed many of them while being paid 60,000 Kenyan shillings, or $414 a month. They accused Sama of doing little to ensure post-traumatic professional counseling was offered. They are seeking $1.6 billion in compensation.Meta and Sama lawyers told the court they thought the mediation was making good progress, with long hours involved, until the moderators’ lawyer wrote to them in protest.Justice Nduma Nderi said the failed talks were a “missed opportunity” to find a balance between the parties involved as opposed to the court issuing an order.The parties will now appear at a hearing on Oct. 31 on the moderators’ application to find Meta and Sama in contempt of court.The lawsuit is the first known court challenge of its kind against Facebook outside the United States. In 2020, Facebook agreed to pay $52 million to U.S. content moderators who filed a class action lawsuit after they were repeatedly exposed to beheadings, child and sexual abuse, animal cruelty, terrorism and other disturbing content.Facebook and Sama have defended their employment practices.。 据生意社价格监测，2026年8月25日乙二醇产业价格涨跌榜中上涨的商品共6种，下跌的商品共0种，涨跌为0的商品共1种。上涨的主要商品有：乙二醇(3.18%)、涤纶FDY(1.13%)、涤纶短纤(0.75%)；本日均涨跌幅为0.97%。商品行业8月24日价格8月25日价格单位日涨跌同比涨跌乙二醇化工5508.335683.33元/吨+3.18%+26.25%涤纶FDY纺织8820.008920.00元/吨+1.13%+22.46%涤纶短纤纺织7820.047878.69元/吨+0.75%+20.03%涤纶POY纺织8596.008656.00元/吨+0.70%+24.55%PET橡塑7752.917803.34元/吨+0.65%+3...。
