High Court Rules Meta Can Be Sued in Kenya
by Victor Kapiyo 05 Apr '25

05 Apr '25

The High Court has ruled that Meta, Facebook's parent company, can be sued in Kenya for its alleged role in facilitating the spread of content that incited ethnic violence in Ethiopia's Tigray region between 2020 and 2022.

It is yet to be seen whether the company will appeal the decision.
