According to BeInCrypto, opposition to the development of AI data centers is expanding beyond the United States to include communities in Australia, Europe and Asia. Residents in Australia, South Korea, Japan and Malaysia are actively challenging projects planned near their homes.
In Sydney, Australia’s largest property company withdrew a proposed data center that would have been located approximately 20 meters from residential areas. The decision followed strong local opposition to the plan. The withdrawal reflects growing community pushback against new AI-focused infrastructure near inhabited zones.
