Despite the assessments still being in progress, the tech giant’s contractors started clearing trees in the area months ago, raising the alarm bells at the Finnish Nature Conservation Association.https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/google-accused-illegally-killing-forest-data-center

@cdarwin I'm an American, and I still don't understand why Americans measure everything in football fields.

@cdarwin On so many levels the TECH BROS have absolutely no regard for the law - environmental law, copyright law, privacy law, tax law, corporate law etc. They answer to no jurisdiction.

Does Finland have the will and the way to ban them from the country for doing this destructive action ? Asking for an interested friend. -

@cdarwin They'd want power and water as well of course, so that's more damage to come if they're not stopped.

@kargas @cdarwin the British compare everything to the size of Wales.

Unfortunately our entire government and the president loves the current leadership in the USA (which some might say includes Alphabet), it’s only two or three opposition parties making noise about it here. Google has promised nearby townspeople something equivalent of one free ice cream cone each as spiritual reparations (I don’t remember what it was but it was small and silly, insubstantial.)
