- 1Microsoft silent as church groups seek 1% of data center costs●Microsoft goes quiet after church groups ask for 1% of data center costs
Church groups have asked Microsoft to contribute 1% of its data center costs to local communities, and the company has so far declined to respond publicly. The appeal taps into growing scrutiny of the enormous local impacts — power, water and land use — of data centers across the United States, and of whether tech giants should give back to host communities. Microsoft's silence is itself drawing attention.
