Erin Brockovich’s New Crusade to Expose Data Centers Has the Internet Rooting for a Sequel Nobody Asked For
In an ironic twist that only the internet could love, the real-life inspiration for Julia Roberts’ Oscar-winning role is now swapping toxic sludge for server farms, demanding that Big Tech reveal what’s actually inside their massive data centers. While most of us are just trying to log into Zoom without a buffer, Brockovich is out here demanding "data center transparency" because, apparently, the only thing hotter than the cloud is the literal fire hazard of unregulated lithium-ion batteries. The meme history writes itself: once the hero of Hinkley, she’s now the villain of crypto bros who just want their NFTs to load faster.
