Protesters broke into the construction site of a Microsoft ​data centre in Amsterdam on Friday, saying, "These data centres are destroying our world." "It's becoming uninhabitable because of all ⁠the resources they consume," a protester said. Campaigners say data centres pressure electricity and water supplies, and threaten climate goals.
