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. The landmark decision rejects Meta's argument that Kenyan courts lack jurisdiction because Meta isn't registered as a company in Kenya. The lawsuit, is one of three against Meta in Kenya on its content moderation practices, which it recently made major changes on in the US. It is yet to be seen whether the company will appeal the decision.
