Datacentres are indeed shooting up all over the place at an astonishing rate. I know, I’m involved in them. However I don’t think they need such protection from the government - the companies building them already have enough money (and the datacentres themselves make a ton of money) that they don’t really need handouts.
Hard disagree. We can all survive without data centres. The transition from having them, to not having them is chaotic (as crowdstrike showed), but I think 99% of us would benefit from our financial / credit records being wiped out.
data centres just ruin the environment; nhs is a fundamental right and need.
Data centres as vital as NHS and power grid, government says
So I guess we’re going to underfund them and treat the workers as mugs?
Nah, data centers need to be reliable to be profitable, the power grid can be ignored and only hurts those that can’t afford battery backup systems.
Much more vital because in the future people won’t be important
