People who rely on social media for information about coronavirus are more likely to believe conspiracy theories and go outside with symptoms or breach lockdown rules, a new study revealed. Research published by the Psychological Medicine journal found that 60% of people who believe that COVID-19 was directly linked to the world's growing 5G network used YouTube as their primary source of news. And those who preferred Facebook to get their information 54% believed the 5G conspiracy theory compared to 20% who did not and 26% who were not sure. The 5G link to coronavirus has been widely debunked by governments and tech experts. Yet people have been damaging masts or even setting fire to them while phone and broadband engineers have been harassed and threatened leading to public information campaigns in some countries. "This is not surprising, given that so much of the information on social media is misleading or downright wrong," Daniel Allington, senior lecturer in social and cultural artificial intelligence at King's College London, said.
