The article notes the following:

1. Law enforcement hasn't been contacted in this matter.

2. A similar incident supposedly took place at a Utah site and "is unresolved".

I wonder if Meta/Zucky isn't really looking for an out on a contract which is costing them more than planned.

Meta suspends work at Nebraska construction site due to racist graffiti

Suspend?

They should shut it down completely and abandon the project.

50/50 that it was scrawled by whichever "victim" group or the actual scrawler from that "victim" group.

It seems like it is almost always this way.

or some random kid with a sharpie who was walking by and needed to take a shite.

good LORD the very notion of shutting down a major construction project because of racist graffiti in a shitter is absolutely mind boggling. the only reason "Meta" did this is for the virtue signaling points and press coverage

It's stunning how soft this society has become. I can't see this nation surviving very long if we stay on this trajectory.

Absolutely, but they should take it a step further. Donate the land to people of color and give them the remaining funds that were allocated for the construction. It’s the only reasonable thing to do.

Well now we know how to shut down Facebook.

Someone hand me a case of spray paint, map of all FB office locations, and a swastika stencil

"Similar incidents occurred at another Meta data center under construction in Utah late last year, according to the Utah County Sheriff's Office. Two incidents involved racist graffiti written on a portable bathroom, but are unsolved.


What would be the purpose in contacting law enforcement? Were they planning on spending police resources to track down someone for a misdemeanor charge, which might result in a $50 fine or something? Is writing something racist against the law now? Someone better give the entire cast at MSNBC a heads up, if it is.

Kind of nice to know that Meta can be so easily manipulated. You can bet I’ll be traveling with a sharpie henceforth.

Have never understood why people in the IT and entrepreneur space think much of this clown. He's not brilliant. He's only where he is because he got lucky af and screwed over his friends who were much more intelligent than he.

it's actually a little disturbing how common it is now to hear whether or not law enforcement has been contacted, if there is an investigation pending, etc in association with every little tiny (real or perceived) act of racism. people have slowly and subtly started associating the two, as if it has actually become illegal to say something racist (which was probably the plan all along).
