Conspiracy theories that link 5G to the coronavirus are cerita lucah rogol nenek tua sedapspreading fast on social media.
It's resulting in actual property damage, as some people go around thrashing 5G equipment.
These attacks include a burned 5G mast in Liverpool, as well as a burned telephone mast and a wrecked LTE tower in Birmingham (yes, that last one doesn't even fall under the 5G category). Furthermore, the mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, has received threats related to 5G conspiracies.
Now, YouTube is taking steps to reduce the damage.
On Sunday, The Guardian reported that the video platform is already removing videos that breach its guidelines, including ones that promote "medically unsubstantiated methods to prevent the coronavirus in place of seeking medical treatment." But now, YouTube is taking it a step further — though it stops short of actually removing videos that promote 5G conspiracies.
"We have also begun reducing recommendations of borderline content such as conspiracy theories related to 5G and coronavirus, that could misinform users in harmful ways," a YouTube spokesperson told the newspaper.
