Facebook Hamburg, Attacked And Vandalized!
Mary Cris BalancioLast Sunday, Dec. 13, the office of social network Facebook has been attacked by vandals. According to the police statement released to the public, the overnight attack was done by a group or people wearing black clothes with hoods. The authorities estimated the number of attackers to be from 15 to 20 people. They have also already launched an investigation following the said incident.
The attack in Hamburg left the entrance to Facebook's office with smashed glasses, thrown paints and a "Facebook dislike" vandal sprayed on a wall. A Facebook spokesman said nobody was injured in the said attack and thus declined to give additional comments on what they think could be the possible reason for the attack.
In what could be connected to the incident, the European head of the social media is currently under investigation in Germany allegedly over their failure to remove racist hate speech. It was brought to light when concerns from politicians and celebrities alike, on the rise of anti-foreigner comments in German on the social networking site and other similar sites as the country struggles to cope with the influx of refugees.
The public outcry led to an announcement of investigation on the said matter last month. The prosecution spokesperson stated that Facebook Managing Director, Martin Ott, could be held responsible for the social media's failure to remove the hate speech.
The social networking site, on the other hand, refused to make a comment on the said issue and only released a statement saying that they can say that the allegations lack merit and that there is no violation committed by both the social media and/or any of their employees.
Currently, Facebook is known to be in a partnership with FSM, a group monitoring multimedia service providers on a voluntary basis which encourages consumers to fight back against racism.
