I think it ought to be illegal for a company to make it a condition of your employment that you cannot, for the rest of your entire life, criticize the company.
Lifetime contracts barring any criticism of Google. Isn't this the thing people were totally outraged and in total disbelief that OpenAI was doing to its staff?

Just since July, 20 more counties in IN have passed restrictions on data centers. That's astonishing progress, and proof that people absolutely can claw power back from Big Tech!

The coalition coming together to demand and build a better future than the one offered by AI companies is broad, and that is an immense strength. KeShaun Pearson (@keshaunpearson), ED of @MemphisCAP_org, speaking at the People's AI Assembly, co-hosted with @MorePerfectUS.

That's a pretty huge conflict of interest, to say the least! Tell your Reps to stop these shady deals by banning NDAs between government entities and corporate interests: fwwat.ch/3Vn8bf6
A Louisiana State Senator bought land next to what would become a $50 billion Meta data center. Then, he sold it for a profit. He also signed an NDA with Meta about the whole process. He's not alone. Politicians across the country are using their insider knowledge to profit off data centers.

It's pretty bleak when communities are pressured to accept all the harms of AI data centers just to afford basic services. Community benefit agreements are not nearly enough. We need a full moratorium on AI data centers! foodandwaterwatch.org/news/2…

Google workers are resigning over the company’s AI contracts with the military. In the BBC article on this development, one employee alludes to Google contracts mandating that workers refrain from criticizing the company for the rest of their lives.

Let's vote for progressive candidates who can rein in Big Tech while improving digital rights!

Technology should be a tool for workers, not a threat of replacement. #CA22 We have a corruption crisis: @GOP's David Valadao is working hand-in-glove with AI oligarchs to rig the economy against working-class Americans. Vote for Randy Villegas to protect workers and jobs!! ✊🏽
We cannot allow AI to displace workers, and threaten life, jobs and humanity. In Congress I'll fight to protect the Central Valley, not billionaires in Silicon Valley.

🚨 #CA34, AI Super PAC Leading the Future is backing @RepJimmyGomez to oppose AI regulation. It is funded by Big Tech and Trump/MAGA mega-donors. 🗳️ Angela Gonzales-Torres is not for sale to Big Tech and the AI billionaires destroying the future of our youth. Vote Angela!
WE'RE WINNING! Tell @Angela4CA THANK YOU for standing up to Big AI $$$.

Utah woman peacefully protesting data center ordinance approval violently slammed to the ground by sheriff’s officer. The state is always violent—peaceful or not. This isn’t democracy. It’s a dictatorship of capital.

🚨 Will Lawrence for Congress ✅ Federal Moratorium on Data Centers. 🗳️#MI07 Let’s go!! Reject corrupt @GOP's Tom Barrett. Vote Will. 🇺🇸
Trump and Congress are spending trillions on wars and data centers while we can't afford the basics of life.  I’m fighting for good housing and health care, jobs and education, clean air and water. It's not too much to ask. It's what we deserve.

Big Tech pays off our politicians and local officials. YOU GET THE NOISE!
Beverly and Jeff Morris lived in peace and quiet on their beautiful farm before Meta broke ground on a data center complex next door. Now, they don't have clean drinking water and are dealing with constant noise pollution. Stories like the Morrises are exactly why we need a Data Center Bill of Rights. The advancement of this technology cannot come at the sacrifice of hard-working Americans.

🚨 #TN09 don't let Silicon Valley tech bros write the rules and rig the system against the working class. 🗳️ Help @Justinjpearson win against his Trump endorsed opponent Brent Taylor, who will poison your air with Musk’s fossil-fueled, toxic data center empire.

Improvement in air quality is so hard-won. It's beyond depressing for that progress to be undone by data centers.
Nearly 300 planned data centers threaten Texas’s air quality gains. Particulate pollution, considered among the deadliest forms of air pollution, could rise to levels not seen since 2006. truthout.org/articles/nearly…

👇🏽Yes.
Bernie Sanders on data centers: “Folks are saying, ‘I don’t want this colossus in my backyard, it’s ugly, it’s disgusting, it’s taking farmland, destroying our environment, water, electric rates, noise, heat.’ That’s real. But I think in the back of the minds of many of these folks, they’re saying what the hell are we doing? What is this gonna contribute to? Is this gonna result in my kid not being able to have a job? Is this gonna result in my not having any privacy? Why am I aiding these large corporations owned by the wealthiest people in the world who could care less about me?”

Significant majorities of Americans oppose the construction of new data centers in the U.S., believe that artificial intelligence will destroy many jobs and disapprove of President Trump’s handling of the technology, according to a Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll. wapo.st/47ssKtw

Between higher utility bills, lower tax revenue, and more pollution, data centers are rarely a net positive for locals. Instead of earning trust with transparency, Big Tech is trying to ram these projects through with as much secrecy as possible -- and people aren't having it!
NEW: Trump’s EPA head, Lee Zeldin, is decreeing that there’s no need for local communities to be consulted or even notified of new polluting AI data centers. People are fighting data centers. The government is fighting people.

👀 Big Tech’s rigged system. Socialized costs. Privatized profit. 💢
A new Senate investigation finds "none of the seven [Big Tech] companies would agree to a standard that would require them to pay for the building of new power infrastructure that would not have been needed if not for their data centers." Big Tech refuses to pay its fair share!

Greg Abbott celebrated Texas becoming the “epicenter of AI development.” Now that he’s worried he’s about to lose his job, he’s scrambling to rein in those same data centers as Texans are fed up over electricity, water, and infrastructure concerns. Meanwhile, Texas is projected to lose $3.2 BILLION in sales-tax revenue over two years through data-center tax breaks. The question isn’t whether Abbott welcomed the boom. He most definitely did. The question is why the safeguards came AFTER the boom was already underway. The answer is in the polls. #RepublicansLoveDataCenters
