A pro-data centre party in Washington, D.C., was interrupted by protesters on Saturday, 26 September, with one demonstrator shouting 'Thank you for using all of our water!' as attendees responded with chants of 'USA!'

The event, called 'Data After Dark: A Pro-Data Center Party', was held at PubKey as opposition to the expansion of data centres continues to grow across the US.
