Vodafone New Zealand starts educational campaign against 5G conspiracy theories

Tuesday 1 December 2020 | 10:36 CET | News
Vodafone New Zealand has launched a 5G educational campaign, which consists of a series of online videos created by Ngahere Communities and online influencer Torrell Tafa. The videos feature industry tech expert Nikora Ngaropo, and are designed to address misinformation and uncertainty about the safety of 5G mobile network technology, particularly on social media channels.

Following a series of attacks on cell sites around Aotearoa during the level four lockdown in April/May, Vodafone New Zealand contacted Ngahere Communities to help understand community concerns around 5G, particularly with South Auckland where the majority of the early attacks occurred.

The first video, focusing on explaining the potential of 5G, was shared by Torrell Tafa on 20 November, with two myth-busting videos going live on Torrell’s social media channels on 27 November and 3 December. Vodafone NZ will then share from their social media channels (including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tiktok) both organically and via paid adverts.
