Correction Request – MBFC RF Safe Entry (Funding, Conflict Framing, and Null-Evidence Handling)
RF Safe publishes a correction request addressed to Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) regarding MBFC’s credibility entry about RF Safe. The post argues that MBFC should revise or substantiate claims about RF Safe being “funded primarily” by product sales, adjust conflict-of-interest wording, and reconsider an assertion that RF Safe gives limited weight to null (no-effect) evidence. RF Safe proposes alternative language and links to its own transparency policy, product education pages, and a framework it says explicitly anticipates null results.
Key points
- RF Safe asks MBFC to substantiate or remove a quantitative funding claim (“funded primarily through product sales”), arguing it is unsupported as written.
- The post requests revised conflict-of-interest framing, saying MBFC’s wording implies a “sell fear to sell product” model that RF Safe disputes.
- RF Safe claims its product-related content emphasizes limitations and behavior-based exposure reduction, and criticizes “anti-radiation” gimmick claims (e.g., “99% protection”).
- RF Safe challenges MBFC’s statement that it gives limited weight to contradictory evidence, arguing its framework treats null findings as expected boundary conditions.
- The post provides suggested replacement language for MBFC and links to RF Safe’s transparency/editorial policy, product pages, and research library entries as references.
