They are actively engaged in intense market manipulation to float their stock price while not showing a single penny in profit while building their data centers in poor areas that don't have the resources to fight them in court when their electric bills increase by a factor of 20 and the data center drains every drop of water for miles while replacing it with smelly toxic waste water that cannot be treated in normal city treatment plants.
All so a billionaire can get rich and make poor people cry.

These people are by no means the good guys.
