💨 Abstract

A Kenyan court has allowed a lawsuit against Facebook's parent company Meta, alleging its role in promoting content that incited ethnic violence in Ethiopia. The case, which involves hate speech during the Tigray region's civil war, could impact Meta's global content moderation practices. The plaintiffs seek a restitution fund and changes to Facebook's algorithm to prevent hate speech. Meta has not yet commented on the ruling.
