Protesters storm site of Microsoft’s planned Amsterdam data centre
Activists in Amsterdam have stormed the site of a proposed Microsoft data centre. Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen reports.
What the coverage shows
Reuters and The Verge both frame the story as protesters breaking into a Microsoft data center construction site in Amsterdam, with each placing the action at the outskirts of the Dutch capital. Reuters uniquely adds a live-style detail that around 100 people entered the site, while The Verge alone says the Geef Tegengas group helped organize the protest and specifies opposition to three 85-meter towers.
