Thus, it is no surprise that it has also been the topic of a massive amount of misinformation, which was most likely amplified by the fact that many details about the virus were not known at the start of the pandemic. While a large amount of this misinformation was harmless, some narratives spread quickly and had a dramatic real-world effect. Such events are called digital wildfires. In this paper we study a specific digital wildfire: the idea that the COVID-19 outbreak is somehow connected to the introduction of 5G wireless technology, which caused real-world harm in April 2020 and beyond. 2023-04-10T09:53:31Z 2023-04-10T09:53:31Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41060-022-00322-3 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/7728 en application/pdf Springer
