'I am going to take every one of you out': North Carolina man arrested for threats against Jewish organization_我的网站

A |     NAIROBI, Kenya -- The lawyer representing 184 former Facebook content moderators based in Kenya who sued the site's parent company, Meta, over working conditions and pay told the judge Monday that Meta has not been sincere in trying to reach an out-of-court settlement as agreed in the last court session.Lawyer Mercy Mutemi said the talks had collapsed and the former moderators want to proceed with a contempt of court case against Meta.“The petitioners gave it their best effort. They attended every mediation. The respondents asked for information which we gave them. They kept saying they would get back to us by a certain date but only got back to us at the end of last week with a very small amount that cannot even take care of the petitioners’ mental health,” she told the court. She described Meta as “not genuine.”The moderators were employed via Sama, a San Francisco subcontractor that describes itself as an ethical AI company, to work in its hub in the capital, Nairobi. Their job entailed screening user content in 12 African languages and removing any uploads deemed to breach Facebook’s community standards and terms of service.Some of the petitioners have told The Associated Press that their job required them to watch horrific content for eight hours a day that overwhelmed many of them while being paid 60,000 Kenyan shillings, or $414 a month. They accused Sama of doing little to ensure post-traumatic professional counseling was offered. They are seeking $1.6 billion in compensation.Meta and Sama lawyers told the court they thought the mediation was making good progress, with long hours involved, until the moderators’ lawyer wrote to them in protest.Justice Nduma Nderi said the failed talks were a “missed opportunity” to find a balance between the parties involved as opposed to the court issuing an order.The parties will now appear at a hearing on Oct. 31 on the moderators’ application to find Meta and Sama in contempt of court.The lawsuit is the first known court challenge of its kind against Facebook outside the United States. In 2020, Facebook agreed to pay $52 million to U.S. content moderators who filed a class action lawsuit after they were repeatedly exposed to beheadings, child and sexual abuse, animal cruelty, terrorism and other disturbing content.Facebook and Sama have defended their employment practices.。

B |     The Justice Department has announced the arrest of a North Carolina man charged with leveling threats against a Jewish house of worship last week in the wake of the Hamas attack on Israel."I am going to take every one of you out in a way," Jeffrey Scott Hobgood allegedly said in an email to the Jewish organization on Oct. 11, according to court documents. "You will beg for your life ... you semite pieces of **** - will be annihilated."Even after law enforcement contacted him following the first email, Hobgood proceeded to send a second threatening message to the same organization two days later, prosecutors say."Guess what happens to traitors? ... Public execution. ... We are at war. ... If you think you semite pieces of **** are going to win, then you are delusional," he allegedly wrote, court documents show.Hobgood has not entered a plea, and he has no attorney listed in court documents.Hobgood's family members had previously reported to law enforcements threats that they say he allegedly made against them in the past year as well, according to his arrest affidavit.The FBI released data on Monday showing that anti-Jewish hate crimes increased by more than 37% in 2022 -- the second-highest number on record and the highest number in almost three decades. There were a total of 11,634 criminal hate crime incidents motivated by bias toward race, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender, and gender identity in 2022, according to the data.At least 1,400 people have died and 3,400 others have been injured in Israel since Hamas launched an unprecedented incursion from air, land and sea on Oct. 7, Israeli authorities said.。
