2% of global energy use goes on the cloud storage for all those pictures you never look at.

They must be quite valuable to those who are paying the server bills.

Misleading and inaccurate.

The finding that global data centers likely consumed around 205 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2018, or 1 percent of global electricity use, lies in stark contrast to earlier extrapolation-based estimates that showed rapidly-rising data center energy use over the past decade

Pictures we store in the cloud are a miniscule part of what those data centres store.

Nestle is knowingly selling unhealthy food.

The world’s largest food company, Switzerland's Nestlé, has acknowledged in an internal document that more than 60% of its mainstream food and drinks products do not meet a “recognised definition of health” and that “some of our categories and products will never be ‘healthy’ no matter how much we renovate”.

Surely not?

What next? Will Coca Cola work out that its lollywater contains an unhealthy amount of sugar? And if that amount is reduced to a healthy level it can no longer be described as Coca Cola?

If they had any illusions about the products they themselves make, that would really be disquieting.

Well, they may be in the know but they do not disclose these things in the product description. These guys have made a name for themselves for products like baby formula, among other things.
