on suspicion of trespassing

it appears that some members of the group decided to enter the construction site “with violence” anyway, forcing the police to intervene and leading to their arrest.

How much do you wanna bet that said "violence" was against inanimate objects and thus vandalism rather than violence?

I'd wager that any ACTUAL violence against actual people was perpetrated by the cops. That's how it usually goes.

It is also the first of many organized by the “Stop Dirty Data Centers” coalition across Europe, with actions planned for Amsterdam, Dublin, Warsaw, Denmark, and several other cities across the continent.

TIL that my country has been relegated to city status 🤔

    Where are you from, the US?

    Your country being the size of Europe DOES tend to skew your perspective a bit 😄

    Things turned violent when Microsoft chose to profit off of enabling the Palestinian Genocide with their Azure infrastructure, not when protestors of this lost their cool.

    Several large tech companies, including Palantir, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, have contracts with the Israeli military and provide support for its operations in Gaza; a few are starting to reconsider accepting Israeli money. Facing pressure from shareholders and investors, in September 2025 Microsoft blocked Israel’s access to the Azure cloud platform, a surveillance program that Israel has used to collect data on Palestinians. Israel will instead rely more heavily on Google and Amazon. In 2021, the tech giants signed a cloud data storage contract with Israel called “Project Nimbus” for $1.2 billion, a deal that involved a workaround to violate both their own terms of service and legal guidelines, leading some Google employees to protest and to resign in response. Palantir has denied that it was involved in developing the AI targeting systems “Lavender” and “Gospel” that Israel has used to intentionally strike Palestinians at home with their families. In October 2024, Norway’s largest asset manager divested its $24 million in Palantir shares due to concerns about Palantir’s partnership with Israel. But other than Microsoft, tech corporations have maintained their lucrative contracts with Israel.

    It ain't guetting better though since a lot of investors are either jews or christian zionists and they re all investing in AI due to some idiotic belief in prophecies from the old testament (Also why israel's top sector is currently AI), how the hell you decolonize palestine whilst defusing biblical mania, i do not know but this is pure stupidity in action.

    Dr Naomi Klein released a book on this: https://naomiklein.org/end-times-fascism/
