The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) has been enjoined as an interested party in a case aiming to hold social network giant Facebook liable for alleged human rights violations in Kenya.

Cotu has also joined the more than 80 other agencies and individuals that have signed an open letter asking the social networking giant to stop intimidating Daniel Motaung, a moderator fired by Samasource Kenya, a sub-contractor for Facebook.
