  1. Increased data collection and storage

  2. Lack of transparency and accountability in 5G networks

  3. Potential for government surveillance

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are privacy concerns associated with 5G technology. Increased data collection and storage, lack of transparency and accountability in 5G networks, and the potential for government surveillance all pose risks to user privacy.

  3. Educate users about the importance of privacy and security

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are best practices for protecting user privacy in 5G networks. Minimizing the amount of data that is collected and stored reduces the risk of data breaches and misuse, pseudonymizing user data before it is stored or processed helps to protect user identities, and educating users about the importance of privacy and security helps them to make informed decisions about how their data is used.

Which of the following is a key factor that has contributed to the increased security and privacy risks associated with 5G technology?

  1. The increased complexity and heterogeneity of 5G networks
