    When the CEOs of these companies are saying that we will risk extinction and jobs will be decimated, why do you even need a "foreign agent"?

      Because nobody in charge is sane and sober.

        In this very specific case I don’t think this is what is happening. Data center investment is the only thing keeping GDP positive, the moment this stops the real situation of the economy will become visible to everyone and they don’t want that.

          How difficult would it be to convert a data center facility into an internment camp for all these “foreign actors” opposing the government?
