Meta suspends Netherlands data center due to political pushback

The suspension of Meta's data center had very little to do with the fact that it was for Facebook. The main reason is that NL has several of those data centers already and has become aware that they need huge amounts of energy and give very few jobs for it in return. Especially the current time of energy shortage has made those data centers unpopular.

Austria is a simple train-ride away for the Dutch - it doesn't cost a long haul flight's worth of CO₂ to go skiing.
