A court in Nairobi has barred Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, from laying off its content moderation workforce pending the determination of a lawsuit that claims the planned termination is unlawful.

Justice Mathews Nderi Nduma of the Employment and Labour Relations Court also barred Meta and outsourcing company Samasource Kenya EPZ Limited from hiring other content moderators to do the work currently being done by those that were to be sacked.
