Activists breached the site of Microsoft's under-construction data center in Amsterdam, with two groups protesting.

Members of the Dutch action group "Geef Tegengas" infiltrated a construction site in Amsterdam, clashing with police. Activists climbed a crane, lit smoke flares, and attached helium balloons to machinery. This protest is part of a broader European resistance against the rapid spread of energy-intensive artificial intelligence. Over a hundred groups are participating in a two-day protest demanding a halt to new data center constructions across various countries. Smaller protests occurred in cities like Bristol, Berlin, Warsaw, and Zagreb. Protesters raised signs warning about the dangers of the AI bubble and criticized Microsoft for its services to the Israeli military and U.S. immigration authorities. Police reported using force and tear gas against activists attempting to breach the site, resulting in minor injuries to an officer.
