The lawyer representing 184 former Facebook content moderators based in Kenya who sued the site’s parent company Meta over working conditions and pay has told a judge that Meta has not been sincere in trying to reach an out-of-court settlement as agreed in the last court session.

Mercy Mutemi said the talks had collapsed and the former moderators want to proceed with a contempt of court case against Meta, which she described as “not genuine”.
