Amazon's $1 billion data center plan draws fresh backlash
Original: Amazon’s $1B plan to combat data center backlash draws more backlash Amazon praised for ending NDAs but slammed for down
Amazon announced a $1 billion initiative aimed at addressing growing community and environmental criticism of its data center expansion. The move has won some praise for ending non-disclosure agreements, but critics say the company is downplaying the pollution and local impacts caused by its data centers, and the plan itself is now facing renewed backlash.
Why now: Amazon's attempt to defuse criticism over data center pollution is itself being criticized, fueling fresh debate.
