About 190 Kenyans who have been contracted for moderating duties at Facebook are suing its parent company, Meta, with more than 140 being diagnosed with “severe PTSD” and other mental health disorders due to the work, according to a report.

The moderators, who work 8-10 hours a day and are paid a fraction of what moderators in the United States are paid, were contracted to check posts and photos for content that violates Facebook’s terms of service, according to the Guardian.
