MisleadingTrick: Blames one causeThe Reel accurately cites recent news about a data center's unmetered water use in Georgia and massive AI infrastructure investments in India. However, it falsely connects these events to claim data centers are being 'dumped' in India because its citizens do not protest. In reality, data center expansion is a global trend driven by AI demand, and Indian citizens have actively protested against data center projects over water and environmental concerns.
