Anacé People Fight Water Theft by TikTok Mega Data Center in Ceará
The Anacé indigenous people mobilized against a $10 billion data center linked to ByteDance (TikTok) in Caucaia, Ceará, citing threats to their territory and water sources. Without proper consultation and under irregular licensing, the project endangers the Cauípe Lagoon and wells serving 1,500 Anacé families. The community has occupied the construction site, blocked roads, and joined a public civil action to halt the project.
