The action was part of a wider campaign against large data centres, with activists in several European countries demanding a halt to new projects over concerns about their environmental and social costs.
Activists entered the construction site of a planned Microsoft data centre in Amsterdam on Nov. 6. eNCA reported that several hundred people occupied the site, while DW said protesters were calling for a pause in data centre construction in Europe over concerns about water, electricity and climate goals. The Guardian reported that separate actions took place outside the site and across Europe. India Times reported arrests, and iHeart reported clashes with police; other reports did not specify those details.
