    Okay, so no change in terms of legality of the enterprise. Personally I’m in favor of regulating Youtube and Tiktok to the point that they’re truly socially responsible and only slightly profitable but that’s mostly irrelevant to data center location discussion.

    In terms of benefits of investing in data center in Norway I could list:

    • using renewable energy sources in a location that’s very good at those
    • staying at regulators arms length
    • jobs

    So I think this is good news.

      Letting people build a Heroin-Cyanide candy factory would also bring jobs, I still think it should be illegal.

        That’s a fair point but it would require outlawing YouTube too.
