• Farmers, Teachers, Parents & More Are Getting Arrested Over Protesting Data Centers (gadgetreview.com) — A Hobart resident was arrested at a contentious Amazon–NIPSCO data center hearing after refusing to give his name and leave a hallway, raising questions about how strictly meeting decorum rules are enforced. His case is part of a broader national pattern of residents facing criminal charges for minor behavior like clapping or withholding ID at AI data center zoning meetings, which civil liberties advocates say could chill public participation.
