Facebook offices in Germany vandalised

London: Offices of social network Facebook in Hamburg were vandalised by a group of 15-20 people, local media reported on Monday.

The European head of the social networking giant is under probe in Germany over the company's alleged failure to remove racist hate speeches.

A Facebook spokesperson said, “We



can say that the allegations lack merit and there has been no violation of German law by Facebook or its employees.”

The company added that it would encourage “counter speech” and step up the monitoring of xenophobic commentary.

The police have launched an investigation into the incident.
