I agree governments shouldn’t throw money in these. That didn’t answer my question of why we want to seize them. > because they used tax payer money to help fund them Source showing a significant part of the investment was tax money? |

Ok couldn't find that tax payer money went specifically to it, so taking that back.
On the other hand, incentives, of other forms, and rates and agreements with the data centers that mean I pay more myself for my own electricity (happening in VA where I live) is an indirection form of taxation or I'll say still means my own need to work greater (to pay for the higher electricity) is whats supporting that data center. Or said in another way, their presence has led to a greater burden on me and others, and they haven't contributed locally in the way that satisfies me or others locally. If ascribe that to a leech/parasite: if a local leech or parasite is in my community, step one to removing it is seizing it. edit: Maybe seizing it can show that removing it isn't needed, as seizing gives a greater level of control over said parasitic entity.
Hope that answered your question better. If not, I can try again in another way.
