Google was apparently so eager to build its new data center infrastructure in Finland that it began bulldozing large swaths of forest before the required environmental review...
Yeah no, it does not work directly like that, around here. If they thought they can just buy their way quickly out of this… Now that they got caught, Google just brought upon itself a good round of the Nordic bureaucracy hell. And if they managed to piss of the locals, the complaints alone can delay the whole thing easily for years, lmao.
Oh they will get through it, that is not the question. But they will have to jump through all the hoops, especially now, since the whole country is watching.
Yeah, our money-worshipper-party and racist-party politicians are definitely dancing to their tunes as well. But we are very much into following the procedures, so you cannot really buy yourself through the system quickly. Google may have gotten some form of a fast track, had they just waited for a bit, since the politicians supporting would find the ways for it. But now that they broke the law, people are upset, and the spotlight is on the case, meaning it is going to be combed through. Which can take time, and they might really end up with some repercussions as well… And if they did piss off some locals, those formal complaints have postponed even huge projects for years, since they all will be handled through the correct bureaucracy.

I mean Finns are prickly people, so they actually may resist for awhile.
But in my country the politicians are celebrating the bribes and dancing to their tunes.
