Valid concern or paranoia?

Id like an anonymous vote on how many of us use services created by data centers. Im thinking around 100%

Oh, chit. The big data AI thing killed BigJay and took over his account. It’s now seemingly posting defenses of data centers.

He knew too much.

Also, Montanans: If you are at all concerned about privacy and state or corporate surveillance - the state Senator that I mentioned in post 89 is actually on top of the issue. Fortunately, most legislation he introduces on the subject passes with bipartisan support. I’d say he’s a major reason why Montana is a dark spot on those Flock maps.

Vote for people that care.

Oh niave child... It was a rhetorical question.

That's just not how those developments work. You almost categorically can't stop them because they come with enough money to check all the boxes, meet all the demands, provide everything you ask of them. And if you simply say, "no" they'll sue. Because it's discrimination to allow everything from cancer factories ( Bayer) to pig farms, but not allow data centers. We've been working "with" them for 7 years. Mostly against our will.
