Citizens united to change EU rules on 5G. Citizens' concerns range from huge energy consumption to data theft and cancer - all linked to the roll-out of 5G and the 'Internet of Things', without the consent of citizens.

They took the initiative to request the EU Commission to make better legislation to protect the environment, privacy or health from the adverse effects of wireless communications such as 5G and IoT.
