He has already killed 3 kids, how many more before it's enough?

Wow, good thing this company has a squeaky clean reputation otherwise or this might tarnish their reputation.

I remember when that futurism site was a weird news site about utopic things. Now it's dystopic as hell, and this scares me a lot, because if even they don't have good hopes for the future, things are REALLY bad

How many atrocities is this company responsible for? Counting just this week's headlines, it's already unconscionable.

Cool. Charge Zuck with Attempted Murder.

What doesn't Meta infect?

“When the board shared that it found a substance in the city’s wastewater — not public drinking water — Fortis immediately stopped discharging industrial wastewater and began hauling it offsite,” a Meta spokesperson told Cowboy State.

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: Well the ship was towed outside the environment.

Interviewer: Into another environment...?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: No, no it's been towed beyond the environment, it's not in the environment.

Interviewer: No but from one environment to another environment...?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: No it's been towed beyond the environment, it's not in an environment.

Interviewer: Well what's out there?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: Nothings out there!

Interviewer: There must be something out there...?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: There is nothing out there, all there is is sea, and birds, and fish.

Interviewer: And?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: And 20,000 tons of crude oil. truckloads of deadly bacteria

Interviewer: And what else?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: And a fire.

Interviewer: And anything else?

Bob Collins - Australian Senator: And the part of the ship that the front fell off. But theres nothing else out there. It's just a complete void.

Zuck and the entire board should face both civil and criminal charges.

Our Amazon processing centers are all set to discharge "treated" 95-degree water into our waterways. Board of Supervisors isn't concerned. Good times.

It became sentient

how the fuck does a data center pump out a rare germ? Seriously. Isn't the water meant for cooling computers?!

Jeez

Cant vote against datacenters if you're dead. Also, fantastic way to remove the parasites taking up energy for their useless pursuits, like daily life.

Seems like they are, how would you say?

Careless People

Like the book of the same name.

AI article? Or just clickbait? Waste water system is not the same as water supply.

What is the highest-leverage attack on this kind of installation? Like most people don't have access to cruise missiles (though if you do, please do the thing!), but I'm thinking ventilation intake. Like take a can of expanding foam (ie, GreatStuff), duct-tape an M-80 to it, light and chuck it into the ducting.

Apparently that particular bacteria is basically everywhere on the environment and amounts of it around is pretty harmless. Datacenter just offered a nice and warm environment for it to prosper and then dumped the shitload of bacteria into water treatment system and the treatment plants can't manage that much of it properly.

Also, while it could be deadly, it's more likely that you'll have couple of miserable days on the porcelain throne. But almost any underlying condition (being old, having any kind of gut issues, having flu...) can tip the scale and instead of literally shitty ilness you'll end up in a box.

While Meta is of course guilty here on multiple things one might argue that local government is equally responsible since they allowed Meta to connect their sewer pipe in the first place without proper precautions. But maybe Zuck just had to have a new limousine or whatever so responsibility part was skipped.

Town ? So people are fine right ?

Yet another Onion article come to life.

Evil Genius Gates Drops Windows 98 Into NYC Water Supply

How tf does a datacenter of all things even do this. You'd assume it's quite clean and filtered environment.

Infrastructure projects need environmental accountability too.

What is this trash article? They released the bacteria into the town waste water, not the town's water supply.

You know, the same thing you do when you flush the toilet after reading this.
