#Kenya: #Sama, a Kenyan company that handles #Facebook #content #moderation to reach production quotas, exposes its employees to disturbing material with rhythms that lead to the development of trauma: the mandatory weekly "wellness break" must be begged for, you have 50 seconds to moderate individual contents (including videos of minutes) maintaining an accuracy of 84%, you are monitored during the work activity and there is no trace of the act of renouncing for possible trauma (present in EU countries). In addition, when asked to raise salaries - Facebook pays them about $2 an hour - the company responds by saying that it does not want to upset the local market.

When two years ago an internal union tried to claim its rights, the company dismantled it, promising promotions and firing its promoter. He continues to suffer from disorders related to his former job, without at the same time being able to afford a therapist.

"Facebook is enriching itself by exporting trauma along old colonial axes of power, away from the United States and Europe, to the developing world".

Behind Closed Doors | The West and Global Corruption

A Documentary about corruption in high places and those who enable it.

Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) are people who hold a public function and as a result present higher risks of being involved in Bribery, Money Laundering or Corruption. Offshore leaks have revealed repeatedly that PEPs use British finance and British offshore jurisdictions to launder their wealth, hide their wealth and re-invest that wealth back into the global financial system. London is the place where they buy property, where they take legal action against their critics and where they live when they fall from grace.

But what happens when a developing country fights back and attempts to get Britain to return the money that it claims has been stolen? Watch Behind Closed Doors and find out.

Behind Closed Doors is a film by Michael Oswald and Murtaza Mehdi

#Kenya’s digital ID project, known as Maisha Namba, will receive advice from the Bill and Melinda #Gates Foundation

“We have a number of specific investment support on digital identity. We actually provide it to broader platforms,” Suzman said on the sidelines of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund meetings in Marrakech, Morocco.

Maisha Namba is a unique personal identification number assigned to every Kenyan citizen. The number is assigned to the Maisha Card as a digital identity credential.

The project has been met with skepticism in some parts of the country.
