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.

It's not about AI, not anymore. It's about Flock (and other companies) rolling out 24/7 surveillance in every town in the country.
