Kenyan Facebook moderators accuse Meta of not negotiating sincerely_我的网站

一 |     NAIROBI, Kenya -- The lawyer representing 184 former Facebook content moderators based in Kenya who sued the site's parent company, Meta, over working conditions and pay told the judge Monday that Meta has not been sincere in trying to reach an out-of-court settlement as agreed in the last court session.Lawyer Mercy Mutemi said the talks had collapsed and the former moderators want to proceed with a contempt of court case against Meta.“The petitioners gave it their best effort. They attended every mediation. The respondents asked for information which we gave them. They kept saying they would get back to us by a certain date but only got back to us at the end of last week with a very small amount that cannot even take care of the petitioners’ mental health,” she told the court. She described Meta as “not genuine.”The moderators were employed via Sama, a San Francisco subcontractor that describes itself as an ethical AI company, to work in its hub in the capital, Nairobi. Their job entailed screening user content in 12 African languages and removing any uploads deemed to breach Facebook’s community standards and terms of service.Some of the petitioners have told The Associated Press that their job required them to watch horrific content for eight hours a day that overwhelmed many of them while being paid 60,000 Kenyan shillings, or $414 a month. They accused Sama of doing little to ensure post-traumatic professional counseling was offered. They are seeking $1.6 billion in compensation.Meta and Sama lawyers told the court they thought the mediation was making good progress, with long hours involved, until the moderators’ lawyer wrote to them in protest.Justice Nduma Nderi said the failed talks were a “missed opportunity” to find a balance between the parties involved as opposed to the court issuing an order.The parties will now appear at a hearing on Oct. 31 on the moderators’ application to find Meta and Sama in contempt of court.The lawsuit is the first known court challenge of its kind against Facebook outside the United States. In 2020, Facebook agreed to pay $52 million to U.S. content moderators who filed a class action lawsuit after they were repeatedly exposed to beheadings, child and sexual abuse, animal cruelty, terrorism and other disturbing content.Facebook and Sama have defended their employment practices.。    8月7日12时40分，青县流河镇人和镇村的“孝老敬亲爱心小院”内，就餐高峰已过。71岁的姚秀香把用过的餐盘放到回收处，走到孝老亭散步消食。餐厅里，几名志愿者正忙着收拾餐具、擦拭桌椅。

三 | 小院另一侧的理发区内，还排着几位等着免费理发的老人，志愿者拿着剪刀为老人修剪出满意的发型。这小院，每天都围着村里老人的日常需求运转，成了村里老人离不开的“幸福驿站”。

四 | 如今，像这样的“爱心小院”，在燕赵大地上随处可见。

五 | 近年来，本着面向群众、服务群众的原则，以邻里互助志愿服务为根本，在全省村镇、社区广泛打造形式多样的“爱心小院”。在打造“爱心小院”过程中，各地以村街、社区文明实践站为依托，整合闲置房屋、学校、卫生室、孝老食堂、党群服务中心、综合文化站等资源，广泛发动群众参与共建。

六 | 人和镇村的“孝老敬亲爱心小院”起初是一间孝老食堂。“过去村里留守老人多，独自在家吃饭多是凑合一口。”村党支部书记胡宗权介绍，为解决这个问题，经村“两委”决定，办起了全县第一个孝老食堂。热腾腾的饭菜暖了老人的心，更聚起了民心。如今，这里从单一助餐拓展出助浴、助洗、免费体检、义务理发等服务，功能齐全。辛集市则在103家“老年食堂”的基础上，结合群众实际需求，配备便民服务和文体活动设施，将其逐一打造成“爱心小院”。这些“爱心小院”各具特色、各有所长。

七 | 宁晋县河渠镇依托工笔画产业，为残疾人搭建起一个集“培训、孵化、服务”于一体的“助残爱心小院”。00后轮椅女孩李娜是这间爱心小院的常客。“这里有专业老师手把手教，从勾线到上色都能接受系统授课指导。现在，我每月靠创作就有稳定收入，还能照顾家人。”李娜高兴地说。

八 | 在衡水市桃城区河西街道的“老孟爱心小院”里，常听到阵阵掌声。

九 | 在这里，全国学雷锋志愿服务最美志愿者孟凡领用通俗易懂的语言向居民宣讲党的方针政策。几把椅子、几句家常，党的创新理论就这样“飞入寻常百姓家”。“爱心小院”正在悄然改变着乡风。

十 | 在青县，清州镇胡白庄村“帮大姐爱心小院”里，刘凤英热心为村民调解矛盾；陈嘴乡张二庄村“美容美发爱心小院”中，赵丽义务为村里75周岁以上老人理发……这些“爱心小院”的负责人，都是群众身边的热心人。在他们的带动下，许多村庄（社区）好人好事蔚然成风。“群众需要什么，‘爱心小院’就提供什么。”青县县委宣传部相关负责人介绍，全县已建成400多个“爱心小院”，实现村村覆盖，真正做到了接地气、聚人气。为了保障各地“爱心小院”既服务好又运营好，各地积极引导公益慈善组织、爱心企业等社会力量参与到小院建设中。小院虽小，装的却是民生大事，守护着乡村群众幸福生活。据悉，省将不断整合资源，将“爱心小院”的服务从单一生活照料向身心关怀延伸，管理模式从政府包办向多元共治转型，社会效应从个体受益向社会辐射，持续扩大服务覆盖面，构建起文明和谐的乡村新气象。（日报记者 高 珊）。
