Amazon Pledges to Stop Using NDAs With Local Governments

Original: Amazon Is Making Concessions to Data Center Critics—and Warning Them Not to Get in the Way The tech giant has pledged to

Amazon has pledged to stop the controversial practice of requiring non-disclosure agreements in its negotiations with local governments over data center projects, while also warning critics not to obstruct its operations. The move is being read as a concession to growing local opposition to data center construction, which has sparked fights over water, power and land use in communities across several countries.

Why now: Growing local resistance to data center expansion has put Amazon under pressure, making its concessions and warnings newsworthy.
