There's been a similar amount of shutdown on 5G tower conspiracies after they resulted in vandalization, arson and even a shooting. 17 towers were attacked in New Zeland alone[1] for example, and plenty elsewhere.[2] As a result 5G groups have been banned on Facebook and the like. Things like this that has real impact is for better or worse pretty quickly suppressed on most platforms. If flat earthers started setting tankers on fire or something they'd probably get the same treatment.

Does anyone know which vendors' equipment was on the attacked towers?

New Zealand banned Huawei so probably not them although, as recently as Nov 2019, the second-largest NZ operator Spark was intending to use a mix of Nokia, Samsung, Cisco, Ericsson and Huawei equipment.
