In acts similar to those linked to anti-5G conspiracy theories, vandals have tampered with towers and put lives at risk.

A government briefing paper estimates telecommunications companies spent almost $8 million in 2020 repairing damage caused by 5G conspiracy theorists, including replacing towers and other communications infrastructure

The vandalism was one of at least 11 similar attacks in NSW this year. Vandals remove nuts from the bolts that secure the towers to the ground, causing them to eventually topple.

WTF ??? Who does this ?

    Where are all the 3G conspiracy theorists??! Did they just vanish when 4G came out?

    And the 4G conspiracy theorists, where are they now?

    Hmm …
