Protesters have broken into a construction site of a new Microsoft data center in Amsterdam this morning. Members of the Geef Tegengas group helped organize the protest against the construction of three 85-meter data center towers in the outskirts of Amsterdam. The protests over Microsoft’s data center site in Amsterdam comes in the same week that activists staged a mock Israeli military checkpoint outside a Microsoft data center in Dublin on Tuesday, part of a wave of data center protests across Europe.
