Protesters break into Microsoft data center site in Amsterdam

Protesters broke into a Microsoft data center construction site in Amsterdam, where around 100 people entered and some scaled a crane to hang a "fuck AI" banner, according to Reuters. The Geef Tegensag group helped organize the protest against three 85-meter data center towers, with banners including "Microsoft powers genocide" and chants of "Microsoft has got to go" and "free Palestine." The site, built by British developer Pure Data Centres with Microsoft as sole tenant, is proceeding under plans dating to 2016, before Amsterdam banned new data centers until 2030.
