Anti-data center protests erupt in multiple European countries

Protests against data center construction erupt in multiple European countries, with concerns over their impact on society and the environment. Around 2000 people gathered in Dublin, and 1300 in Helsinki, as the Stop Dirty Data Centres alliance demands a halt to construction until democratic procedures decide. People worry that data centers will consume land and power resources, driving up energy prices, and are concerned that the interests of large tech companies are undermining democracy.
