Finland investigates Google over destruction of 250,000 trees

Original: Finland investigate Google over destruction of 250k trees

Finnish authorities have launched an investigation into Google over the destruction of roughly 250,000 trees, reportedly linked to land clearing connected to the company's data centre operations in the country. The case raises questions about how the tech giant handled permits and environmental obligations, and is drawing attention to the environmental cost of large-scale data infrastructure in Finland.

Why now: Google's data centre expansion in Finland has allegedly caused large-scale environmental damage, drawing regulatory scrutiny.
