Google has sparked outrage in Finland after illegally felling around 250,000 trees to construct data centers, with locals expressing concern about environmental damage and job displacement. The company's €13 billion project, aimed at building AI infrastructure, has been temporarily halted due to lack of necessary environmental impact assessments. Finland's government, which initially welcomed the investment, is now facing public backlash and questions about the role of data centers in the country's economy.
