Data centers can black box off
 

Data centers have entered our towns and cities and polluted them. Noise, heat, emissions, and waste. These developers build, stress our communities, wrap their work in NDAs, raise our electricity bills, and now want a free pass to pollute even when grid is being maintained? Get a grip. Netanyahu can go 2 hours without our search history.

No soft regulation for data centers. No hand-holding. No free lunch. Data centers can black box off, get in line, and try to contribute positively to society.
