Meta has lost another legal battle in Kenya as a court in the East African country ruled against Meta in a lawsuit where two Ethiopians accused the social media giant of failing to moderate inciteful messages on its platform. Meareg and his co-petitioner, a legal advisor at Amnesty International, asked the court permission to serve Meta a lawsuit outside Kenya. This is the second legal battle Meta has lost in Kenya this month. Just last week, a Kenyan High Court issued an order prohibiting Meta from using any third-party content moderator company other than Sama to examine its platform’s content. In the same lawsuit, it was also decided that Kenyan courts have the jurisdiction to determine petitions against Meta.
