Vandals attack Facebook building in Germany

Vandals have damaged a building housing Facebook’s offices in Hamburg, smashing glass, throwing paint and spraying “Facebook dislike” on a wall, police in the northern German city said on Sunday. The overnight attack on the social networking group was carried out by a group of 15-20 people wearing black clothes and hoods, police said in a statement. An investigation had been launched. While the motive for the attack wasn’t clear, Martin Ott, Facebook’s managing director for northern, central, and eastern Europe is being investigated for the platform’s alleged failure to remove racist hate speech, Reuters reports. Ott is based in Hamburg.
