Amazon Says It’s No Longer Using NDAs for Data Centers
Amazon is no longer requiring non-disclosure agreements from local officials in exchange for building its data centers. This change comes after community pushback led to temporary bans on new data centers being built in some areas. The company has acknowledged the role of public opposition in this shift.
Why it's good news: It suggests that community activism can be an effective way to influence corporate decisions and promote transparency in development projects.
