Beast Mobile Ethical Connectivity Is Not Optional
RF Safe argues that companies marketing wireless connectivity to children should adopt a precautionary, “ethical connectivity” approach rather than relying on existing U.S. RF exposure rules. The piece claims current FCC guidelines are outdated and cites a 2021 D.C. Circuit decision criticizing the FCC’s retention of its RF limits, along with assertions about WHO-commissioned reviews and animal evidence. Overall, it frames wireless exposure for children as a credible risk and emphasizes regulatory lag and legal constraints as reasons for voluntary industry action.
Key points
- Positions “ethical connectivity” for children as analogous to ethical sourcing decisions in consumer products, urging companies to act without waiting for regulators.
- Claims children warrant special protection due to developing nervous systems, thinner skulls, and longer lifetime cumulative exposure.
- Argues U.S. RF safety rules are based on “1996-era” thermal assumptions and are not designed for chronic, low-level exposure in children.
- Cites the 2021 U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruling that the FCC’s decision to keep its RF guidelines was “arbitrary and capricious,” framing it as evidence of regulatory failure.
- Asserts that WHO-commissioned systematic reviews (described as 2025) found high certainty of cancer causation in animals exposed to RF radiation, and references NTP and Ramazzini findings as supportive replication.
- Highlights Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act as limiting local challenges to wireless infrastructure on health grounds, arguing this increases the need for voluntary precaution.
