It also comes after YouTube deleted a video watched by about 65,000 people in which popular conspiracy theorist David Icke claimed there "is a link between 5G and this health crisis," inspiring some commentators to call for further attacks on 5G towers.

"This includes conspiracy theories which claim that the symptoms are caused by 5G."
