    There seems to be a coordinated and funded effort to spread FUD about AI and datacenters across multiple countries, including the US, Canada, and the Philippines. The most obvious source of funding would be China for a lot of reasons. Taking payments from a foreign government to attempt to influence Americans is against federal law.

    This isn't necessarily some weird corrupt conspiracy.

      There also seems to be a coordinated effort to bring up Israel whenever China is being discussed negatively.
