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.

      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.
