To stop assholes from bombing them
We didn't have known datacenters bombed till now
I mean yes, Amazon servers in the middle east aren't doing great, but I guess it's not what you're talking about
The secrets are kept prior to breaking ground. After that everyone knows what it is.
When I’ve visited the big data centers, they had gates and security relatively far out from the buildings. How would you get close enough? It’s not like the World Trade Center in 1993 where you can just drive up next to the building. (It’s also not like the World Trade Center in 2026 where there is an anti-terrorism perimeter of steel-reinforced concrete bollards, but somewhere in the middle.)
Of course there are also data centers in the middle of cities but these are smaller.
