AI Scammers Flood Facebook with Anti-Data Center Propaganda

Hundreds of Facebook pages are now churning out anti-data center slop using AI tools. These pages target areas where big tech companies plan to build new data centers, spreading fear about noise, traffic, and water use. The AI-generated posts often include scary graphics and fake 'facts' to make their claims sound more urgent. The goal? To whip up local opposition and slow down the expansion of data centers, which are key to the tech industry's growth. While the tactics can be effective, they rarely offer real solutions for the communities involved.

Why this matters for us: Data centers bring jobs and better internet access to our neighborhoods, and we can't let AI scams scare us out of the benefits.
