Meta puts plans to build data centre in Netherlands on hold

<p>Facebook owner Meta, following political resistance, announced on Tuesday that it was delaying plans to build a massive data center in the Netherlands. The decision comes a week after the Dutch Senate passed a motion requesting that Prime Minister Mark Rutte&#39;s cabinet &quot;exercise its powers&quot; to halt the building of the site near Zeewolde, 50 km from Amsterdam. The town had previously authorised plans to create the Netherlands&#39; largest facility of its sort in December.</p>
