Remotask Shuts Down Operations in Kenya

Date:

Days after President William Ruto lauded Remotask for giving several Kenyans online working opportunities, the company has shut down operations in the country.

The platform which allows users from all walks of life to complete small, online tasks such as image and video labelling, contributing to the training and development of AI models, and make money, now shows an error message when you try to access it locally.

“Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access remotasks.com,” a message is shown.

The reason for this has not been explained but local users have raised the issue.

Preliminary reports indicate that the popular online gig economy platform has shut down its operations in the country.

However, it is not clear if the move is permanent or just a temporary measure.

Kenyan users on Remotasks have received an email letting them know that the platform is no longer accessible in the region.
