Google illegally demolished an estimated 250,000 trees in Finland to make way for a data center, leaving behind a lifeless mud wasteland that forced packs of wolves into a nearby town in search of food and infuriated locals, according to a report.

The finish government should shaft all data centre plans and force Google to plant 250,000 new trees + pay a hefty fine. Something tells me that’s not what’s gonna happen, though.
Fingers crossed that the fine is 4 million euros per tree.
No more corporate fines. It’s time for personal accountability.
You can get up to a year in prison for taking down or harming a single public tree not in your property. But 250k?
Well there’s likely a bunch of people responsible so I guess we divide 250k by the sum of perpetrators to figure out for how long we’ll keep their rotting corpses in jail.
Didn’t the Finnish government make the deal with Google in the first place?
That’s what the report says, yes. These assholes wanted Google to invest in their country, they wanted it even more than Trump.
