Protesters reportedly broke into a construction site for a Microsoft data center in Amsterdam and clashed with police. According to Cointelegraph, Dutch authorities said they detained 150-200 people for trespassing. One protester told a local broadcaster that demonstrators were trying to stop construction of the data center, according to an Associated Press report on Friday. Microsoft said it was aware of the demonstration and responded through a spokesperson, who acknowledged that people feel strongly about the project and said the company respects their right to express their views peacefully. The spokesperson added that Microsoft does not condone unlawful actions or conduct that puts people’s safety at risk.
