5G networks - safety, conspiracies and moron cell tower attacks

[High Voltage]

We should perhaps just isolate all these people together in a 5G-free environment so they're all safe from the virus and safely away from the rest of us

Oh! No! We don't want 'em down by us thangyewverimuch

Or just isolate them in a giant microwave and accidentally turn it on.

The rise of the idiots continues

Coronavirus: Tech firms summoned over 'crackpot' 5G conspiracies

Government will tell social media firms to take down posts more quickly after attacks on masts.

www.bbc.co.uk

With Facebook fuelling the stupidity:

Even on Friday, complaints to Facebook moderators about a group that appeared to encourage arson attacks on 5G masts received replies saying the page did "not violate our community standards" - although after the BBC contacted Facebook's press office it was taken down.

Did they wait for Orange to rebrand before they had any mobiles then?

This keeps coming up as 'proof' that 5G is unsafe (and recently, always as evidence of its rile in the virus spreading)

We Have No Reason to Believe 5G Is Safe

The technology is coming, but contrary to what some people say, there could be health risks

But it's worth noting that the same publication ran this

Don't Fall Prey to Scaremongering about 5G

Activists cite low-quality studies in arguing radio-frequency radiation is dangerous, but the weight of evidence shows no risk

How fast is this 5G by the way? I find 4G gives my home internet a good run for its money as it is.

100x faster than 4G in theory

100x faster than 4G in theory

So maybe 20x in practice. Pretty impressive, though I can watch HD video fine on 4G so not sure what the main draw would be for me.

At least 20 UK phone masts vandalised over false 5G coronavirus claims

Industry body assures people in open letter there is no link between 5G and pandemic

www.theguardian.com

These anti-5G cunts are annoying fuckwits at the best of times, but I think this crosses the line into something else. They're not just wasting their own money and poisoning their own bodies with their pseudomedical quackshit, they're actually committing sabotage at this point. All because they can't be fucking bothered to pick up a physics textbook and learn the difference between ionising and non-ionising radiation. Complete pieces of shit who deserve to get the book thrown at them when they get caught.

Total fuckwits, they need catching & time in prison.

I blame David Icke - he’s chief promoter of this 5G/coronavirus tinfoilery.

He recently did an live interview with London Real which was watched by a worldwide audience of 8 million!

It's a spectrum, for sure. But the wavelengths used in telecommunications are at the opposite end of the spectrum to the nasty ionising shit.

Fair point. Much closer in range to those crowd control weapons.

While any connection to the virus is obvious bollocks and fuck the burner downers, I'm not really sure building 5G towers is actually vital at the moment.

Fock David Icke

 

[NoXion]

So things like the power output of the source (which is gonna be considerable for a crowd-control weapon, unlike a small device of 1-5 watts like a mobile), and the distance between source and object don't matter at all? Even ELF waves will cook a person if one stands sufficiently close to a sufficiently powerful source, but each individual photon does not have the energy to damage DNA, which is how ionising radiation causes cancer. Absent that, thermal energy transfer is the only known mechanism for EM radiation to cause damage, which is how that weapon works.

Do you really expect that the conspiracunts would have the technical know-how to tell the difference between a 5G and a non-5G tower? Fuck them all, they've long gone past the point where they can be granted any excuses.

I really need a better way of signposting when I'm not being serious.

Like water canon. They don't want you to know about those do they? Yet they literally PUMP that stuff into our homes and encourage us to drink it. Wake up.

If you pour it in your ear you can hear the Government spooks listening at the other end.

I'm going to merge this with the other 5G thread as it'll just end up duplicating posts.

Is there any anti-Chinese angle to any of this?

Loads. Huawei are involved, the first 5G tests were in Wuhan, someone saw a Pangolin watching netflix in HD once. Usual bonkers lunacy.

Likely the four UK carriers will sunset 3G by 2022/2023 though 2G will be supported until, perhaps, 2030.

ah right, I guess 2g is staying for smart meters and alarm systems and the like

There are quite a few random bits and pieces like medical systems that use 3G to support systems that will be around well after 2023 - wonder what will happen with those...

edit: I guess some niche carrier, or maybe just one of the main ones, will pick that up?

Thing is a niche carrier will have to be responsible for an entire 3G network and equipment with little income for it so I guess if they switch 3g off they will have to shunt the systems back to 2g or up to 5g

I think there will be a lot of devices out there that are 3G only.
