I should maybe add a bit of context to the first claim. Google has had a data center at a former paper mill site in Hamina since 2009. That begun as an industrial reuse at a time when data centers weren't yet an overhyped industry, so received widespread approval (including myself).
When that site was expanded a decade later, Google cut down a protected woods area and got away with a reprimand. This kind of break-the-law-who-cares is a common event throughout Finnish industries.
