Sign a Petition
Idaho Data Center Privacy and Consent Act
A statewide initiative to require informed consent and personal privacy protections in the service level agreements governing data center processing of personal data — because Idahoans deserve to know what happens to their data before they click 'I Agree.'

Sign the PledgeWhat we're fighting to protect
From water and land to privacy and human rights — these are the specific, documented issues that define this movement.
AI cooling systems drain the Snake River Plain Aquifer — one of the world's largest — threatening farms, ecosystems, and drinking water for generations to come.
A single hyperscale data center can consume 100MW+ — the equivalent of 80,000 homes. Idaho's grid isn't built for this.
Vast server campuses threaten irreplaceable sage-steppe habitat, wildlife migration corridors, and prime Idaho farmland.
Thermal discharge and reduced stream flows compound climate pressures on salmon and steelhead already listed under the ESA.
Diesel generators, noise, and cumulative pollution burdens fall hardest on low-income communities and communities of color.
Idaho has virtually no legal protections governing what AI systems do with personal data — medical, financial, biometric.
Algorithmic decisions about hiring, housing, healthcare, and public benefits affect every Idahoan. Unaccountable AI is a human rights issue.
Idaho has no legal definition for 'hyperscale data center,' letting massive industrial facilities slip through zoning codes.
Add Your Name to the Movement
Every signature sends a clear message to Idaho's legislators: our land, water, and air are not inputs for Big Tech's bottom line.
