5G: This is how we lose our privacy
In an advertising film by Vodafone, the new 5G mobile technology is touted as a great experience for everyone, with
the enticing prospect that it will make life much easier.
The 5G network would enable the best possible medical care for all, such as remote operations by robots in real time.
Automatically controlled cars should warn themselves of dangers.
From currently seven billion end devices - mostly smartphones
the so-called Internet of Things is now expected to increase to up to 500 billion devices
such as refrigerators, trash cans, diapers, etc,
which are all networked together. Ultra-short transmission times of around 1 millisecond are planned so that
future applications and systems can communicate and react with each other in near real time.
With 5G, George Orwell's novel 1984 will become a reality and our privacy will be a thing of the past.
5G is the basis for the complete control and monitoring of every human being, because the networked servers and devices
will obtain a comprehensive picture of each and every one of us.
Politicians and the media often argue that the industry absolutely needs 5G technology.
However, not insignificant disadvantages are ignored.
One example: for industry, trade and commerce, global networking through 5G means that every production line, every robot, every
computer with customer data and secret patents can be accessed from anywhere in the world thanks to the networking of all data.
The risk of hacker attacks - and thus losing control of data - is high.
The example of Shanghai shows how 5G technology outshines even George Orwell's Big Brother vision.
All streets and squares there are already monitored by cameras.
Thanks to seamless camera surveillance, traffic offenders are immediately pilloried in public on large screens.
However, 5G technology has even more far-reaching consequences.
Huge amounts of data are collected and stored for the government to access.
This data is used to create a complete profile of the citizens.
A social credit system was introduced in China in 2018, in which every Chinese person is awarded social points
according to their online, social, financial and legal behavior and treated accordingly.
This ranking, or categorization, classifies people into good and bad citizens.
Since a poor ranking leads to massive restrictions, an atmosphere of fear is created in order not to be guilty of anything.
10 million Chinese are already on a blacklist.
As a result, they have no access to flights or high-speed trains, are not allowed to book a hotel or buy an apartment.
They also do not receive loans and cannot set up a company.
Your freedom is therefore massively restricted.
Conclusion: 5G - the Internet of Things - has no really serious advantages for us, and these only come at the
price of even greater disadvantages, namely total control over our privacy and personal development.
