Activists breach Microsoft data centre construction site in Amsterdam
More than 100 activists gathered at a Microsoft AI data centre construction site in Amsterdam on November 6, with protesters breaking in, climbing cranes and hanging balloons while police stood by. The Stop Dirty Data Centres coalition said groups had announced actions in 16 countries over two days. Site owner Pure Data Centres urged protesters to leave safely and engage in dialogue, while Microsoft said it respected peaceful expression but did not condone unlawful actions.
