Meta President Dina Powell McCormick says Meta expects it will get harder to build new data centers, pointing to more review of proposed U.S. projects. She also frames the company’s approach as shifting toward improving and scaling what already exists rather than focusing on rapid expansion through new builds.
Both outlets report the same core message from McCormick, delivered in the context of Meta’s planning for data-centre capacity. Quartz emphasizes the prospect of increased regulatory and project-level scrutiny around new U.S. developments and notes Meta is weighing whether to build abroad as part of its longer-term strategy. The Wall Street Journal’s Tech coverage focuses more narrowly on her view that midterm political outcomes will affect the environment for expansion, while highlighting Meta’s optimism about scaling existing data centers.
