When Google plans to build a new data center, it will no longer require local officials to sign confidentiality agreements. Previously, activists criticized the operation for lack of transparency, but now Amazon and Microsoft have also abolished this practice. The boycott of data center construction by local communities and politicians continues to ferment. Some projects have been rejected due to issues such as rising electricity prices and disturbing noise. Google and colleagues introduced the above measures, which is one of the measures to deal with such opposition. Critics say the confidentiality agreement would restrict government officials from disclosing the various local impacts of the project to the public. A Google spokesperson confirmed the decision and mentioned a public document explaining the data center construction strategy recently published on the company's official website, which spelled out this new regulation.
