The Employment Court, on Thursday, dismissed an application by Facebook parent company Meta seeking to strike out a petition filed by 260 content moderators who have sued the firm for unfair sacking.

Meta Platforms Inc and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd argued that the Kenyan courts lacked jurisdiction to determine the matter because they are foreign firms that do not trade in the country.
