Questions Surround Death of TikTok Moderator in Nairobi
A Nigerian woman working as a content moderator for TikTok in Nairobi, Kenya, was found dead outside her apartment on Friday, March 11, 2025. Her colleagues claim she had been repeatedly denied leave requests. Teleperformance Kenya, the company that employed her, denies these allegations, stating the claims are baseless. The woman's family adds that she hadn't returned home to Nigeria since starting work in Kenya in November 2022, despite being entitled to an annual return ticket. This incident raises concerns about the working conditions of outsourced content moderators and the need for further investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death. The situation highlights a potential conflict between employee accounts and the employer's response, demanding a thorough examination of the facts.
