Opposition in France is growing among citizens and legislators as well (see 1, 2). Last month, radiation measurement devices were installed inside 5G towers and a French TV station aired a segment about health risks from 5G and wireless exposure. Protesters also stopped trees from being cut down for a 5G antenna. More recently, artists took to the streets to demonstrate their opposition.
A collective of artists, called Les Déconnectés, organized an artistic event in Bordeaux to protest against 5G in France. According to Les Déconnectés collective, 5G “is not a simple faster speed phone plan” but “will shape our cities and our lifestyles” and “penetrate beyond the intimate sphere of the body.”
High speed internet is achievable, safer, and more secure with hard-wired internet connections. Nevertheless, 5G and other sources of wireless are still abundantly being installed in some parts of the world despite warnings and opposition (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11).
