A case was filed today naming Meta and Samasource Kenya as respondents. It alleges  they have violated workers' human rights, engaged in human trafficking and forced labor. I think existing laws and policies already safeguard against this but I'm wondering what impact, if any, this will have on Kenya's BPO industry going forward.
