Meta has been accused in a $2.4 billion lawsuit of inciting violence in Ethiopia through its platform, as a Kenyan high court allows the case to proceed. Two Ethiopian claimants, one being a victim's relative and another a researcher threatened for exposing violence, are pushing for changes in Facebook's content moderation practices and a restitution fund for affected individuals. Meta challenges the court's jurisdiction, but the claimants demand accountability, including a formal apology for past failures in moderation.
"I am grateful for the court's decision today. It is disgraceful that Meta would argue that they should not be subject to the rule of law in Kenya. African lives matter."
