The man worked in Kenya, and says he was paid under £2 an hour to review posts including beheadings.
Meta and its contractor Sama are being sued by a former content moderator, who alleges human trafficking and poor mental health support.
The case, brought in Nairobi, claims job adverts failed to warn of the extreme content moderators like Mr Motaung would see.Meta declined to comment directly on the lawsuit, but in the past has said that it takes its responsibility to the people who review content "seriously" and that it requires its partners "to provide industry-leading pay, benefits and support".
These differing descriptions, it is alleged, were designed to "trick unsuspecting applicants" into applying for jobs as Facebook content moderators.
