Great Britain with big hi-tech against 5G hoaxes

The British government is contacting the big companies on the web to put a stop to the circulation of fake news that connect the coronavirus epidemic to the new 5G mobile networks, after the episodes of the last few days that have seen some 5G towers burned in the country.

According to the Guardian, citing a source aware of the situation, the Minister of Culture Oliver Dowden is planning talks with Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube and Twitter to curb the spread of these conspiracy theories, which in the United Kingdom have also been shared by some characters from the show. The director of the British Health System (NHS) Stephen Powis spoke out against the hoaxes that link Covid-19 and 5G, calling them "garbage, the worst type of fake news.

Mobile phone networks are essential for all of us, and are used by emergency services and healthcare professionals, "said Powis, saying" disgusted that people are acting against the same infrastructure that we need to respond to this health emergency. ".
