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

刀马旦

A | 8 月 26 日消息，科技媒体 Windows Latest 昨日（8 月 25 日）发布“数码考古”博文，回顾了微软首款智能手机，于 2002 年 10 月 28 日在英国发布的 Orange SPV，比苹果初代 iPhone 亮相（2007 年）早约 5 年时间。 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.。该媒体指出在安卓和苹果 iOS 主导移动市场之前，微软曾在移动软件领域占据明显优势。

C | 它能够运行在多种硬件架构上，硬件厂商也能根据不同设备深度定制系统。援引博文介绍，Windows CE 的应用范围十分广泛。1998 年的 AutoPC（车载电脑系统）将其用于汽车；世嘉 Dreamcast 游戏机也采用过 Windows CE；此外，它还运行在无屏幕的嵌入式控制系统和手机中。21 世纪初，美国消费者通常从所选运营商处购买手机。运营商往往为手机提供补贴，并控制设备的品牌、软件定制和使用方式。

D | 微软此前也曾尝试为其他厂商的手机提供软件。例如，微软在 2000 年短暂推动过将 Internet Explorer（互联网浏览器）装入索尼手机的项目。图源：Windows Mobile 网站在苹果发布 iPhone 前 5 年，微软与法国和英国通信运营商 Orange 推出 Orange SPV。这款手机基于 Windows CE 打造，预装 Smartphone 2002 系统。微软首款智能手机 ——Orange SPVOrange SPV 采用 HTC“Canary”硬件，运行代号为“Stinger”的软件，深度整合微软 Exchange Server（企业邮件与协作服务器），可处理邮件、日历和联系人信息。

E | 当时，Exchange Server 正逐渐成为企业默认的商务邮件系统，因此 Orange SPV 在商务移动通信方面具备较强竞争力。

F | Orange SPV 发布前 6 个月，微软与英国另一家运营商 O2 推出 O2 XDA。这款设备属于 Pocket PC，但内置无线通信功能，也能充当手机使用。它搭载“Pocket PC Phone Edition”软件，成为首款“Pocket PC Phone”，也是微软首款配备大屏幕和内置移动通信功能的设备。O2 XDA，首款“掌上电脑手机”，也是微软首款内置移动连接功能的大屏幕设备。
