Amazon ends NDAs in data center deals amid AI infrastructure backlash

Amazon announced it will stop using non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when negotiating data center deals with local governments. This move follows Microsoft’s similar decision earlier this year and responds to community opposition against AI infrastructure projects, which has led to many moratoriums across major U.S. cities. The change aims to increase transparency and trust as AI startups seek consumer confidence to access personal data. This shift could alter how data center agreements are made and impact the AI industry's growth and public perception.

Amazon shares rose 2.53% to USD 260.48, while Microsoft gained 2.30% to USD 534.65 on Pluang. Both stocks show notable investor interest despite a majority of sell orders, with Amazon seeing 78% sell activity and Microsoft 66%. These figures are current as of Oct 10, 2026 00:11 WIB.
