The European Commission copied and pasted language directly from Microsoft and Digital Europe lobbying documents into a binding regulation governing data centre transparency. The policy keeps individual data centres' energy and water use confidential despite the underlying Energy Efficiency Directive mandating public disclosure. The framing as shocking corporate capture is valid—the literal text match is documented—but the full context includes that EU Delegated Acts often undergo industry input, and some argue the aggregated approach to data protection reflects legitimate business confidentiality concerns, though transparency advocates disagree.
