5G misinformation
Misinformation related to 5G telecommunications technology was widespread in many countries of the world. False information and conspiracy theories were propagated by the general public and celebrities. In social media, misinformation related to 5G was presented as facts, and circulated extensively. There are no scientifically proven adverse health impacts from the exposure to 5G radio frequency radiation with levels below those suggested by the guidelines of regulating bodies, including the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). Furthermore, studies have shown that there is no noticeable increase in the everyday radio-frequency electromagnetic exposure since 2012, despite the increased use of communication devices.
