Not excusing anything here but it’s not like the Finns treat their forests with respect either. The entire country is a tree farm.

This is awful, and we should expect stuff like this to happen more often…

I would have liked the article to be a little more specific on the details of how the law was broken though.

The only way they’ll stop is if the land gets seized to be converted into a park and they have to pay for it to be reforested.

If they just pay a fine and get to keep going, it’s a cost of business

Make them have to start over, and they’ll stop doing it.

Unfortunately, locals need to physically defend their forests and natural resources from these AI corporations. The law is much too slow.

Strange that no one google’d if Finland actually needed those trees. You’d think Gemini would say, ‘Yeah, they need dem trees…’ right?)
