Froma Harrop: Big Tech's ugly data centers finally meet the opposition

An opinion piece by columnist Froma Harrop in the Winston-Salem Journal introduces the growing opposition to data center development in rural areas. Harrop highlights the resistance from residents in southwestern Ohio who do not want a 2-million-square-foot data center built near their homes. The columnist provocatively questions the residents' motives, suggesting a "not-in-my-backyard" perspective. The article serves as an introduction to a broader discussion on the societal perception of large tech infrastructure.
