Resistance to data centers becomes an electoral force in the U.S. and reaches the ballot box
Citizen opposition to large data centers, infrastructure key to artificial intelligence, is becoming a political force. In the United States, measures on these facilities were voted in ten states and, of 41 local initiatives recorded, 40 favored restrictions on their development. In Europe, the "Stop Dirty Data Centres" campaign called mobilizations in about fifteen cities to demand a moratorium. The text warns that similar pressures could intensify in Latin America and mentions an agreement between USTDA and the Atlántico governor's office in Colombia.
