Thousands of people were employed by Meta in Kenya to content-screen videos and cleanse the platforms of harmful content.
The employees were forced to watch a large amount of videos with very violent content in their work as content screeners, including terrorist attacks, rapes, and murders. 180 of them have sued the company, according to Sveriges Radio.
"I had to content-screen over 700 videos per day, sometimes 1,500. We saw people who had been beheaded and children being sexually abused", says James, one of the former employees, to Sveriges Radio.
We are suing the company for violating human rights and for the psychological damages my clients have suffered after working for Meta, says the former employees' lawyer to the radio channel.
