REPORT: Governments are now classifying massive AI data centers as “military operations,” quietly stripping communities of any power to stop them. Local control is disappearing fast. And it’s being replaced by national security justifications as residents are locked out of decisions that are quickly reshaping entire communities.

It's the most important issue we've ever worked on.
