Finland opens criminal probe into Google data centre land clearance

Original: Finland launches criminal probe into land clearance for Google data centre

Finnish authorities have launched a criminal investigation into suspected environmental damage linked to land clearance for a Google data centre project. The probe focuses on whether the site preparation breached environmental regulations, and it puts a spotlight on the environmental footprint of the rapidly expanding hyperscale data centre industry across the Nordic region, where tech companies have invested heavily.

Why now: It highlights growing scrutiny of the environmental cost of big tech data centre expansion in the Nordics.
