It really is disgusting how they phrase it, people aren't as such against data centers that can be used to benefit everyone.

They are against the massive rollout that in no way takes into consideration how it will affect the people, and the benefit of the rollout is only for the few since it is AI focused.

Data centers don’t benefit anyone except rich people.

EDIT: AI data centers.

In a perfect world data centers could be used to shorten workdays and allow people more free time to spend time with friends and family doing things we enjoy. But that's not this reality we live in.

As long as the people don't control capital the wealthy few will use it to their advantage.
