UPDATE: Arson attack on Cork mast linked to false 5G conspiracy theory


Meanwhile, Twitter has confirmed that posts encouraging people to take action against 5G masts will be removed as part of wider efforts to double down on dangerous "unverified claims".
The social network said it has broadened its approach, focusing on accounts inciting the public to engage in harmful activity which "could lead to the destruction or damage of critical 5G infrastructure, or could lead to widespread panic, social unrest, or large-scale disorder".
Though Twitter is prioritising such content, the company said it will not remove every tweet that "contains incomplete or disputed information" about coronavirus.
It comes amid a spate of mast vandalism attacks across the globe, driven by unproven conspiracy theories linking 5G to coronavirus shared on social media.
