    It’s Kenyan issue first and foremost. Lack of labour protections sucks and the fact that people fear to lose these shitty jobs is telling.

    Kenya has long been a data labor hub for U.S. tech giants like Meta and OpenAI.

    Also as article mentions, US companies has been doing the same thing.

      American kids larping as maoists don’t like China to be criticized because they idolize a foreign power in reaction to the misery of their political landscape. It’s a coping mechanism.
