They're not entirely wrong about 5G. It is about surveillance, marketing and capitalism. Devices are already listening to us and gathering data without permission. 5G enables the "Internet of Things" where all of your devices -- refrigerator down to your electric toothbrush -- will be wi-fi/bluetooth enabled to collect and send data to the corporation (and eat up your signal). My ex bought a wi-fi enabled electric toothbrush last year. He was in the process setting up for transmission when I stopped him: "Why does our toothbrush need to be on the Internet?" It's bad enough my Apple watch tracks my daily wanderings. I don't need a toothbrush telling Braun how often and how long I brush my teeth or an AC until that tells TEP where it's set. 5G is about collecting our data and using it to make money. Big Brother is watching, but he's a billionaire, not a government bureaucrat.
