Got proof? Because I'm pretty sure military contractors have to explain themselves to senators and congresspeople that got them the contract if toxic waste leaks out of a "secure" facility.
Datacenters on the other hand are corporations using their own money/investments to grab land, congress/senators didn't ask them to.
the pentagon hasn't passed an audit in its entire history.
like nuclear waste
And then they have to pay a 10 million fine, but discharging toxic waste saves them 100 million. Very accountable.
Where is this 10 million fine story? I can't find it.
All the eu data regulation violations usually are in that range.
