Protests erupt across Europe as crowds demand a pause on data center construction
Protests against data center expansion spread across Europe on Saturday, with about 2,000 people marching in Dublin and about 1,300 gathering in Helsinki, alongside demonstrations from Scotland to Spain. The coalition behind the actions, 'Stop Dirty Data Centres,' is calling for construction to pause until the public decides through democratic processes that AI and data centers serve people and the planet. The coordinated turnout shows opposition to AI infrastructure is becoming a cross-border political force that could affect permitting and regulation.
