EE suspects telephone mast engulfed by fire in Birmingham was an arson attack as celebrities claim Covid-19 caused by new network

In one widely circulated video that has attracted millions of views on Twitter alone, individuals working for the broadband company Community Fibre are abused by a woman who claimed without any evidence that they were installing 5G as part of a plot to kill the population.

“You know when they turn this on, it’s going to kill everyone, and that’s why they’re building the hospitals,” she tells the baffled engineers on a London street. “Do you have children, do you have parents? When they turn that switch on, bye bye momma. Are they paying you well enough to kill people?”

WTF!??!? :eek:

Without a doubt, this has to be the stupidest thing I've heard, ever.
 
Ubiquitous connectivity carries with it risks. The USB stick was the largest security threat for organizations not too long ago, now it's just a pittance of a joke. Any old 5G device on your wifi can access all your stuff and transfer it all away in seconds.

But that's real risk, something to be understood and managed. But to be paranoid about RF Radiation causing us cancer? I get more energy in my body walking through the sun in the Summer for 5 seconds than I do talking on this phone all day. People are stupid... ignorance breeds fear... humans gotta human.

The only thing that surprises me? That headline didn't include Florida Man...
 
“You know when they turn this on, it’s going to kill everyone, and that’s why they’re building the hospitals”

Such a genius plot to kill the population off while simultaneously building hospitals to keep them alive.

What do we want? Death to all!
When do we want it? Never!
 
Too bad we have a thing called ethics. We could really clean up: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52810220
"People who are vulnerable gullible need protection from this kind of unscrupulous trading," he added.
Fixed that for him.

IMO, anyone who believes the 5G conspiracies and joins these ignorant and destructive anti-technology groups, deserves to be scammed. It's a waste of Trading Standards' resources (and therefore tax-payers' money) to save these idiots from themselves.

And of course by banning the sale of these 'anti-5G' devices, Trading Standards will only re-enforce the conspiracy theorists' beliefs, who will see this as evidence that the government is preventing people from protecting themselves against their 5G 'weapon'. :rolleyes:

I think we should put the colonisation of Mars on hold for a little while and focus on getting the B Ark ready instead.
