Despite recognized threats from the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), the contractor Sama dismissed concerns from content moderators, accusing them of fabricating threats instead of prioritizing their safety.
Moderators claimed that their complaints about harassment by the OLA were not taken seriously, leading to a culture of fear where their safety was jeopardized due to their work responsibilities.
In the court documents, content moderators argue that their dismissal was linked to their union activities, showcasing a troubling pattern of retaliation against workers striving for fair treatment.
Abdikadir Alio Guyo detailed in his affidavit that the OLA specifically targeted moderators who had taken down content related to them, revealing the dangerous intersection of social media moderation and regional conflict.
