Facebook owner Meta wants a ruling on a case filed by a South African who has sued the firm suspended, as it pursues an appeal contesting the jurisdiction of the Kenyan court to determine the matter.

Meta Platforms Inc and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd told Justice Jacob Gakeri on Monday that it has filed a notice to appeal against the ruling, issued early this month and the application should be heard as a matter of priority before the court addresses any other matter.
