The fight between social media giant Facebook and its employees in Nairobi has taken a new turn after its workers moderating content on Meta’s platforms, including WhatsApp, accused the firm’s local agent of falsifying payslips and failing to remit deducted tax for at least four years.
The Business Daily has learnt that the moderators have also filed an official complaint with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), asking the taxman to investigate the tax evasion claim, in their latest grievances against the social media company.
