Meta is set to lay off about 3,000 employees, starting February 10, according to an internal memo from Janelle Gale, VP of Human Resources. Affected employees will be notified by email today, losing access to company systems within an hour. The cuts, labeled as “performance terminations,” target low performers, with some roles expected to be refilled.
This is as human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Femi Falana, has instituted a $5 million lawsuit before a Lagos High Court against Meta Platforms Inc., the U.S.-based tech giant owned by Mark Zuckerberg, over alleged invasion of his privacy
In the originating motion brought, by his lawyer, Olumide Babalola, he accused the firm of publishing motion images and voice captioned, “AfriCare Health Center,” on their website to the effect that Falana has suffered a disease known as ‘Prostatitis’, which the lawyer claimed constitutes an invasion of his privacy as guaranteed by Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.
