NIMBY is largely used for housing development discussions and to contort it in support of developing data centers is incredibly intellectually dishonest.

If we're going to rebrand things to blur lines, I propose rebranding data centers to pedophile content hubs.

The rest of your argument is full of similar cherry-picking for dishonest discourse.

No, it's frequently used in infrastructure discussions as well, eg. high speed rail or power transmission lines.

Opposing new housing construction is bad in basically the same way that opposing data center construction is bad; and I'm happy to use the same word to describe both groups of people.
