Yeah, Google just destroyed 815 acres of forest for a new data centre in Finland without permission. It hasn't gone down well.
Especially not with Finns. They like their forest, about 3/4 of the population goes and disappears into the forest during summer holidays.
And then, they are also quite strict on The Rules Being Followed To Maintain Polite Society, so a corporation both destroying forest and breaking The Rules, well, that's not gonna end well.
Do they also have those lovely cabins you can rent everywhere, like in Norway? You'd never see my ass (except for work) if I lived there.
Every week I learn something about the nords that I like. I need to look at work visa options.
X doubt.
They probably gave them deals on electricity too. The Fins are getting nothing in return. Wow.
The Finnish government sold them that land. They knew exactly what Google was going to do with it.
doesn't matter. there are laws that must be followed. they broke the law, openly, and someone found out and told people. now the politicians that sold the land have piss on their face and have to do something about it or risk being replaced.
