Fools are now promoting an 'International Day of Sabotage'.

From ABC News, 16 March 2020:

The chatter about 5G towers boiled over into an April 22 Facebook posting that "encouraged individuals associated with anarchist extremist ideology to commit acts of sabotage by attacking buildings and 5G towers around the world...in furtherance of an ‘International Day of Sabotage'"... Videos have also been posted online, showing people how to damage or destroy cell towers ...

Well, since Facebook reserves the right of a publisher to censor content they don't agree with and since they are allowing the promoting of this activity to happen, they should be held responsible for any and all damages resulting from their negligence.

For too long these social media sites want to have things both ways. You can't claim to be a platform, not responsible for content and then only censor content they don't agree with or to be a publisher, not censor material detrimental to society and then not be held responsible for the content due to failing to regulate that same content.

The news story does not indicate that the Facebook posting is still on Facebook.
It is possible (although I do not know) that Facebook has removed it.

However, I agree that Facebook should not allow such posting.
If the posting was reported to Facebook administration,
then it would be irresponsible for Facebook not to remove the posting.

Anyway, this kind of foolishness is the result of scientific ignorance.

As I say in "5G does NOT harm the human body" . . .

Only a poorly-educated person would believe that a virus can travel on an electromagnetic wave. No, a virus cannot do that.

Then again, only a poorly-educated person would believe that 5G is harmful to the human body even without the Coronavirus. No, 5G does not harm the human body.

Such quackery depends on people being poorly educated about science, especially medical science.

Facebook only removes those things they don't agree with. Horrid things like memes and wrong think. Hate speach is whatever the Stazi doesn't like.

At least I heard that President Trump intends to rectify these monopolies.

Uh, just who has a monopoly on science ignorance?

Those who believe that 5G is harmful to humans aren't the only scientifically ignorant people in the world.

As I say in "5G does NOT harm the human body" . . .

It would be more accurate to say "5g operating normally does not cause harm via systemic warming of the human body..."

Other than that, you can't know it does not harm the human body.
There isn't enough research.
What research there is can be contradictory and even indicative of harmful effects, just not from "systemic warming of the human body."

Not to mention how it effects the environment/ecosystems isn't really known either.

That's sitting on the NCBI databases. Calling for more research because it's not really known.

Fools now promoting 'International Day of Sabotage'

I can empathize.

I remember growing up in a town and walmart wanted to open a store there.
For six years thousands of people spent so much of their time, focus, and money protesting, sending letters and calling representatives, wanting walmart to stay out. Highlighting all of the problems and corruption while walmart and politicians talked about all the jobs and convenience and community service and future benefits.

Walmart ultimately won. Lawsuits, defamation, wearing protestors down, midnight backroom deals. All the bad things happened. Town is a crap hole now except where bigger government money comes in (schools, prison).

No doesn't mean no.
Stay out of our community means just keep trying until people get sick of protesting or enough loopholes can be exploited outside of the public eye and only discovered (maybe) in hindsight

If time after time all you learn is "protesting accomplishes absolutely nothing, your voice doesn't matter, you don't matter, we're going to do to you what we want and you'd better accept it and pay for it, along with all of the negative consequences you saw coming and were trying to avoid," what are you ultimately going to do? Better "inform" yourself so you can accept something you don't want? Or be triggered and hold on to whatever justifies you trying to get what you want?

If people trying to enforce their will and what they want through force because talking and protesting does nothing are "fools," what are the people that are calling them fools and telling them to inform themselves where there isn't really any information, or the information is inconsistent, and some perfectly credible information actually validates some of the "fools" beliefs?

Science also said there was nothing to worry about in living under power lines.

https://www.bcmj.org/bccdc/living-near-power-lines-bad-our-health

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are produced by electrical appliances, electrical wiring, and power lines, and everyone is exposed to them at some level. Numerous studies have investigated EMF exposure and health. Al­though earlier studies did suggest associations between exposure and a variety of health effects including brain cancer, breast cancer, cardio­vascular disease, and reproductive and developmental disorders, most of these associations have not been substantiated by more recent research. One notable exception to this is the association with childhood leukemia, which the International Agency for Research on Cancer regards as sufficiently well established to rate extremely low frequency magnetic fields as a “possible” human carcinogen.


Woops...

We as humans are just ginny pigs to those who only care for their pocket books. The activists are in it for their own gains as well. Pseudo science is used on both sides of the fence. The "Death Ray" device is now in most household and called a microwave oven.

huh Not enough research on the non-ionizing portion of the electromagnetic spectrum?

I doubt that.

Skeptics have to prove with science that 5G will harm humans who aren't camping out on 5G transmission towers. Thus far, they have not done so.
