Meta Built a Data Center Next Door. The Neighbors’ Water Taps Went Dry.

Meta Built a Data Center Next Door. The Neighbors’ Water Taps Went Dry.
When Meta (formerly Facebook) built a massive data center in a small Oregon town, locals expected economic benefits—not dried-up water taps. The facility’s enormous water demands, used to cool its servers, have strained the area’s limited groundwater supply, leaving some residents without reliable running water. Despite Meta’s claims of sustainability efforts, neighbors feel left high and dry—literally.
Editor’s Note: Big tech’s expansion often comes with hidden costs for local communities. This isn’t just about one town’s water crisis—it’s a snapshot of how unchecked corporate growth can clash with basic human needs. If even "green" tech giants like Meta can’t balance progress with community welfare, it raises tough questions about who pays the price for the digital age.

NeutralTechnology

Israel and Iran Usher In New Era of Psychological Warfare
NegativeTechnology
Israel and Iran just wrapped up a 12-day shadow war that was less about traditional bombs and bullets and more about messing with each other’s heads. Both sides flooded social media with AI-generated propaganda, fake news, and psychological tricks, turning the digital space into a battleground. It’s a sign of how modern conflicts are evolving—less about who has the bigger army and more about who can control the narrative.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another Middle East flare-up—it’s a glimpse into the future of warfare. When AI and social media become weapons, the lines between truth and fiction blur, making it harder for regular people to know what’s real. If this is how conflicts play out now, misinformation could become as dangerous as missiles.
