Pushing Back on Data Centers and the Surveillance State – Reality Check Radio

Paul Brennan speaks with American property rights advocate Tom DeWeese about growing opposition to large AI data centers. Tom argues communities are resisting developments over concerns about water use, energy demand, noise, secrecy and local decision-making, while warning of broader implications for privacy and individual freedoms. He encourages citizens to organize locally, scrutinize council decisions and hold elected representatives accountable, saying grassroots action has already delayed or halted numerous proposed projects.
