Summary
Axios reported cooperation between centrist and progressive Democrats over New York’s data-centre moratorium, conservative opposition to some data-centre projects and emerging libertarian-progressive overlap on surveillance safeguards. The issue is cutting across traditional party positions rather than producing a single partisan platform.
Why it matters
Cross-party coalitions could produce more durable rules for infrastructure, privacy and automated surveillance than partisan technology agendas.
