EU needs long-term plan to tackle 5G fake news, 15 EU countries say in joint call

The European Union needs to come up with a strategy to counter disinformation about 5G technology or risk false claims derailing its economic recovery and digital goals, a group of 15 countries including Poland and Sweden said.

Conspiracy theories that the novel coronavirus may be linked to the wireless technology have led to the torching of mobile phone masts in 10 European countries and assaults on maintenance workers in recent months.The 27-nation EU sees 5G as the linchpin of its economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and technology autonomy, with its promise to enable everything from self-driving cars to remote surgery and more automated manufacturing.

"It is clear ... that we are witnessing increasing activity of the anti-5G movement across the European Union," they said, calling for the EU to"take an active, long-term and systemic approach" to tackling concerns about 5G and electromagnetic fields .

If you were doing a good job people would be able to discern fake from real themselves. These people are scratching at their 1984 walls.
