The case is a constitutional petition filed in Kenya’s High Court, which has jurisdiction over the issue, as Facebook’s content moderation operation hub for much of east and south Africa is located in Nairobi.He said the men were chanting “junta,” echoing a false claim circulating about his father on Facebook that he had been a member of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which has been locked in a war with the Ethiopian federal government for two years.“If Facebook had just stopped the spread of hate and moderated posts properly, my father would still be alive,” Meareg said in a statement, adding that one of the posts calling for his father’s death was still on the platform.I’m seeking justice for millions of my fellow Africans hurt by Facebook’s profiteering — and an apology for my father’s murder.” Meareg is launching the lawsuit with a legal advisor and former Ethiopia researcher at Amnesty International, Fisseha Tekle, and Kenyan human rights group, the Katiba Institute.The Ethiopian government and the leadership of the TPLF agreed to cease hostilities in November, pledging to disarm fighters, provide unhindered humanitarian access to Tigray and a framework for justice."
