“Delay in Meta Moderators Case Sparks Outcry from Petitioners”, 12 February 2026

The much-anticipated rulings in two landmark cases filed by former Facebook content moderators against Meta Platforms Inc. and its agents have been postponed.

Justice Nduma Nderi had been expected to deliver rulings in the petitions on February 12, 2026, but the court issued a “ruling on notice” update, adjourning the matter to a later date.

The cases — filed by Daniel Motaung and another group led by Kiana Monique Arendse and James Agada Mark alongside 181 others — accuse Meta and its partners of human trafficking, unfair dismissal, poor working conditions, union busting, and violations of workers’ privacy and dignity.

The petitioners expressed frustration over the delay, terming it a setback in their pursuit of justice…

The petitioners say they are now considering further action, including petitioning the Chief Justice to intervene and expedite the case.
