Ads in major U.S. West Coast newspaper warn the public about global Wi-Fi and 5G
A collaboration of organizations and individuals published two full-page advertisements in the San Francisco Chronicle, a major West Coast newspaper, to inform the public of the clear and serious hazards of global Wi-Fi and 5G in the atmosphere — from satellites, drones, and balloons — and the 1000s of rockets required to launch the mega-constellations of satellites.
The ads ran November 22 and 29 in paralell to a sponsored story on the San Francisco Chronicle’s blog which was published November 25.
Three blogs have been published in the San Francisco Chronicle. The main ad sponsor is Free The Sky https://freethesky.org.
- November 29, 2020’s ad can be found here.
- November 25, 2020’s ad “Global Wi-Fi and 5G – What is the environmental price tag to the Earth and life”

November 29, 2020 advertisement on Global Wi-Fi
- The text of the blog starts….
- Companies are launching unprecedented numbers of rockets to put global Wi-Fi and 5G satellites into the sky. 100,000+ satellites, plus drones and balloons, are planned.
- Industry and government have done little research, claiming the “big sky” can absorb any problems. And the FCC exempts these satellite networks from environmental review.
- However, there are major problems:
- Ozone destruction
- Pollution: rocket exhaust gases, black carbon, alumina, other toxic chemicals
- Fossil fuel use and climate impacts
- Debris and satellite accumulation, collision risk
- De-orbiting pollution, casualties and fires
- RF-radiation impacts to humans, wildlife, plants, and trees
- Loss of night sky, interference with astronomy
- RF interference with GPS, airplanes, weather satellites
- Global electrical circuit interference
- Solar flare disruption to satellites and connected IoT network societies
- Energy use
- The Earth and sky together are one living organism. Harming the sky and Earth risks all life and future generations.
