I feel for the people and their concerns, but until about 6 months ago the average person neither knew nor cared what a datacenter was, and probably still would not, were it not for some well-edited TikToks.

Isn't that how democracy is supposed to work? If you believe something should change, then you attempt to create a well crafted message to convince people to agree with you.

Sure. I just strongly disagree with the message and I think “hysteria” is an appropriate word to describe it.

Noone said Chinese. Could’ve been some local influencers chasing clout/engagement.
