Sit-In! is a digital tool of resistance, inspired by the courageous protest organized by former Facebook content moderators in Nairobi in May 2023. These workers were unjustly laid off by Meta’s subcontractor after mobilizing for fair working conditions. In response, they launched a landmark legal case against Meta — the first of its kind in which a Global South workforce is holding a tech giant accountable in a national court. This tool amplifies the voices of a largely invisible workforce: content moderators who sift through harmful material to keep digital platforms running smoothly — often at great personal cost. Sit-In! brings their hidden labour into view, sharing their stories, dreams, and demands to expose the systemic exploitation embedded in Big Tech. The court case against Meta is ongoing, marking a pivotal moment in the global struggle for justice and accountability in the tech industry. Show your support — join us now — Sit-In! By installing a simple Firefox extension, you become part of a distributed act of digital resistance. Once activated, the extension blocks Facebook and other Meta services and overlays the pages with testimonies from Nairobi-based moderators. Hovering over each statement allows a peep behind the screen, a glimpse into the lives and struggles unfolding at the backside of Facebook’s smooth interface. A small icon shows how many people are currently participating in the Sit-In!. This icon links to a central site that anonymously tracks real-time global participation — a growing, collective act of solidarity connecting front-end users with back-end digital workers.
