一 | NAIROBI, Kenya -- The lawyer representing 184 former Facebook content moderators based in Kenya who sued the site's parent company, Meta, over working conditions and pay told the judge Monday that Meta has not been sincere in trying to reach an out-of-court settlement as agreed in the last court session.Lawyer Mercy Mutemi said the talks had collapsed and the former moderators want to proceed with a contempt of court case against Meta.“The petitioners gave it their best effort. They attended every mediation. The respondents asked for information which we gave them. They kept saying they would get back to us by a certain date but only got back to us at the end of last week with a very small amount that cannot even take care of the petitioners’ mental health,” she told the court. She described Meta as “not genuine.”The moderators were employed via Sama, a San Francisco subcontractor that describes itself as an ethical AI company, to work in its hub in the capital, Nairobi. Their job entailed screening user content in 12 African languages and removing any uploads deemed to breach Facebook’s community standards and terms of service.Some of the petitioners have told The Associated Press that their job required them to watch horrific content for eight hours a day that overwhelmed many of them while being paid 60,000 Kenyan shillings, or $414 a month. They accused Sama of doing little to ensure post-traumatic professional counseling was offered. They are seeking $1.6 billion in compensation.Meta and Sama lawyers told the court they thought the mediation was making good progress, with long hours involved, until the moderators’ lawyer wrote to them in protest.Justice Nduma Nderi said the failed talks were a “missed opportunity” to find a balance between the parties involved as opposed to the court issuing an order.The parties will now appear at a hearing on Oct. 31 on the moderators’ application to find Meta and Sama in contempt of court.The lawsuit is the first known court challenge of its kind against Facebook outside the United States. In 2020, Facebook agreed to pay $52 million to U.S. content moderators who filed a class action lawsuit after they were repeatedly exposed to beheadings, child and sexual abuse, animal cruelty, terrorism and other disturbing content.Facebook and Sama have defended their employment practices.。 (ECNS) -- A training program on cervical cancer prevention and control for developing countries was held in Shanghai on Wednesday, bringing together more than 30 healthcare professionals from Asia, Africa and Latin America. Organized by the National Health Commission (NHC), the program combined lectures with practical training tailored to the healthcare conditions and needs of developing countries. Wang Yudong, director of the International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital of the China Welfare Institute and an expert in gynecologic oncology, said the program aims to share China’s practical and cost-effective approaches to cervical cancer prevention and treatment with other countries. Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide and remains a major public health challenge in many developing countries, where limited access to screening, early diagnosis and medical resources continues to hinder prevention and treatment efforts. The International Health Exchange and Cooperation Center of the NHC said China will continue to share affordable and practical healthcare solutions to help developing countries strengthen their capacity to prevent and control cancers affecting women.
