Google Accused of Illegally Killing a Massive Forest for Its New Data Center Project: It's "gross incompetence," or "gross disregard" for the law. Or both. (futurism.com)

This is what I'm expecting with the Palantir CEO dude buying up a bunch of forest in Sweden recently. The statement is

Den nya ägaren av skogsfastigheten är mån om markens skönhet och dess bevarande. De vidsträckta, naturliga skogslandskapen erbjuder värdefulla livsmiljöer för växter och djur, samtidigt som de utgör en plats för rekreation och återhämtning

The new owner of the forest property cares for the beauty of the property, and its preservation. The wide, natural forest landscapes provide valuable living space for plants and animals, while simultaneously providing a spot for recreation and respite.

We have "allemansrätten" here, as in you can go to and camp more or less anywhere. You don't need to own the property to enjoy its natural beauty, or recreate there.

It's definitely going to be used for something vile. A datacentre or something.

With that motherfucker it'll be something vile or the kind of concentrated cringe that makes your earwax melt just sharing a biosphere with it.

Probably both.
