Microsoft’s $1 billion Amsterdam data centre project faces protests over AI infrastructure costs- details inside
More than 100 activists occupied a Microsoft AI data centre construction site in Amsterdam on November 6, protesting against the rapid expansion of data centre infrastructure across Europe. The demonstration was part of a two-day campaign organised by the Stop Dirty Data Centres coalition, with protests planned in 16 countries.
The coordinated campaign also featured a march in Dublin, demonstrations outside Poland’s parliament in Warsaw and protests against another Microsoft data centre project in Denmark. Demonstrations were also organised in Germany and other European countries.
