Data centres become a flashpoint from US midterms to Russia

Original: データセンター

Data centres are drawing attention across several continents. In the US midterm elections, candidates who pushed for AI data centre projects lost in traditionally Republican strongholds, where opposition to construction near homes became a campaign issue. In Russia, a drone attack on Yandex's data centre disrupted services including its taxi-hailing app. In Japan, the operator of a planned data centre in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, delayed breaking ground after resident concerns, saying it would continue dialogue.

Why now: Data centre construction and security are colliding with local opposition, elections and war, making the infrastructure a live political issue in several countries at once.
