Google didn't bother to apply for the permits because they're so massive they can do what they like and just deal with the resulting slap on the wrist. It's all the same to them. The fate of that forest was already decided when the Finnish government agreed to sell it to an evil data center company. Grow up.

    Ah, to be an over-confidently insecure teenager.

    Let's work through this one:

    If Google had applied for the permits they would’ve been issued and we would be seeing the same result.

    Google didn’t bother to apply for the permits because they’re so massive they can do what they like and just deal with the resulting slap on the wrist.

    Why wouldn't they just deal with the bureaucracy instead of having to pay a bunch of lawyers and then likely a fine?

    Answer: because this kind of arrogant behaviour is typical of big corporations when they think they're unlikely to get their way playing by the rules.

    edit: (That's the over confident bit)

    And here's the insecure bit:

    Go fuck yourself.
