Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is challenging a $220 million fine imposed by Nigeriaâs FCCPC for regulatory breaches related to data privacy. Following a tribunal ruling that rejected their appeal, FCCPC highlighted Meta's alleged invasive practices and abuse of market dominance. Meanwhile, content moderators in Ghana are reportedly suffering psychological issues due to the nature of their work for Meta, leading to potential legal actions against their contractor, Majorel, for inadequate support. Meta maintains its commitment to user privacy and opposes the fine.
"The FCCPC accused Meta of discriminatory practices, abuse of market dominance, and sharing Nigerians' personal data without authorization and denying Nigerians the right to determine how their data is used."
Meta spokesperson stated, 'We're committed to protecting user privacy and have appealed the decision.'"
Lawyers are preparing for a lawsuit against Majorel, owned by Teleperformance, due to alleged psychological harm suffered by content moderators working for Meta."
