It's wild to think like ten years ago the energy consumption of data centers was basically treated as a non-issue and now it's used in weird propaganda framings where (implicitly usesless, bad) "cat videos" hinder (implicitly good, important) ammunition manufacture. If it were any other tech company's data center or an IX or even crypto I think this framing would be very, very different.
