Anyone selling a "data center ban" as a win for Texans owes them an explanation for why their bank alerts, GPS, and telehealth would go dark with it.
Texans are being misled to believe banning data centers is a win. But how does that work when the ban unplugs your bank’s fraud alerts, your phone’s GPS, your doctor’s telehealth visit, and the weather warning that could save your family’s life during the next storm? Not to mention your everyday conveniences.
A data center ban doesn’t stop “Big Tech” — it shuts down the critical infrastructure Texas families and businesses use every single day.
Texas needs responsible guardrails, not policies that cut off the digital backbone of modern life.
