Meta core content review contractor Telus Digital abruptly terminated the service agreement, causing 2,000 auditors at its Barcelona operation center to face unemployment. This is yet another major contraction in Meta's overseas content governance system following the abolition of the review center in Nairobi, Kenya in 2023. According to reports, Telus management announced the termination of cooperation with Meta at an emergency meeting on Thursday, and the employees were dismissed on the same day. The laid-off employee alleges that they have not been notified of the statutory “collective dismissal procedure”, and the trade union plans to file a labor lawsuit. The content review process will be transferred to a new base in the Philippines, and the local hourly wage is only 1/3 of Spain's.
