    If justice is about the punishment fitting the crime, they should not be allowed to build there. Period.

    The only way is to put google employees to jail. Money will just encourage them to cut more trees.

      If all further activity/construction is stopped until the matter is resolved, that would be a much better deterrent than fines, I believe. It will take at least a year.

      It won’t stop Google from building datacenters around the world, but it will stop them from ignoring local law with impunity.
