The amount of dust that would get poured into the room would almost certainly set off the fire suppression system, sucking the oxygen out of the room within 30 seconds of activation and suffocating anyone left inside.

    I'm curious what you mean by "no data centers should be built in this country".

    Almost everything on the Internet exists because a data center is hosting it.

    If all of the data centers exist outside of the country, not only latency issues would arise but data security and availability concerns as well.

    If there were no datacenters anywhere, the Internet would be a much slower, unreliable, and sparesly populated place.

    They have also started showing "sponsored" locations as the first search result, often being ridiculously inconvenient and not at all what was searched for. For example I went to look for the Costco near me, and the first result was a Target nearly 20 miles away.

    Depending on the industry / region in which you work, they will have regulatory obligations to protect sensitive data such as PII and PHI. From a business perspective they are trying to remove liability and decrease of obvious attack vectors they have limited control over. From an individual perspective, they are implementing controls that protect the privacy rights of their customers. As a security professional, it's good to see. Personally I would always prefer to keep work and personal items separate to reduce the chance that I'm the cause of a breach.
