> Finnish authorities have ordered construction work to stop at planned Google data centres in Muhos and Kajaani amid concerns about clearing more than 300 hectares of forest. One site lacked a required environmental impact assessment. Google said it had fallen short of its own standards and would follow the agency’s guidance.
