💀🗣 Meta infects city's water system with drug-resistant superbug
A Meta contractor building a massive 66.4k square-meter data center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, has been caught dumping Cupriavidus gilardii bacteria into the city's municipal sewer system.
🌏 Resistant to antibiotics — including standard and emergency drugs used to treat severe, life-threatening bacterial infections — the bug is opportunistic, targeting immunocompromised patients: people with severe illnesses, those undergoing medical treatment, and the elderly. It causes severe pneumonia, lung infections, and blood poisoning
🌏 There are no official, standardized treatment guidelines for Cupriavidus gilardii, with treatment typically requiring complex, multidisciplinary, expensive, and highly personalized therapy
🌏 Given the dangers stemming from the bacteria, Cheyenne's public utilities board may have been surprised to detect it in the city's wastewater
🌏 What's not clear is why the incident, which took place in February and triggered months of cleanup, wasn't reported on until this month
🌏 Officials assure the city's drinking water system wasn't affected, and that the water in question is used for irrigation following treatment
🌏 Meta says its contractor, Fortis Construction, halted the discharge immediately after the problem was discovered and started hauling contaminated water offsite (location unknown)
💬 "Meta is committed to being a good neighbor in Cheyenne, including through the protection of local water resources," a spokesperson told the Mail.
Question: How often do your neighbors dump deadly bacteria into your backyard? If the answer is higher than "never," they may not really be a "good neighbor." 🤡
It's bad enough that your average data center consumes the equivalent of 100,000 American households of water each year (hundreds of billions of gallons total globally). Do people who live nearby also have to risk their water supply being infected?
Did Meta deliberately contaminate Cheyenne's water supply? Hard to say. But the company's history of collecting and commodifying biological and health data, creating bio-adjacent hardware, gatekeeping health information (especially during Covid), and Zuckerberg's funding of bioresearch that promises to use AI to "engineer human health" and "cure all diseases" doesn't help its credibility.

🇺🇸 Teenagers are now facing charges after doing a ding-dong ditch prank with a twist. They showed up in masks, wearing tactical gear and a rifle, or what looks like a rifle.
Two #Delaware teenagers, aged 16 and 17, faced charges after knocking on doors in New Castle while wearing tactical-style vests and carrying what appeared to be a rifle, police said.
This could’ve ended so badly..
