A French government watchdog agency has ordered Apple to withdraw the iPhone 12 from the market, saying it emits levels of electromagnetic radiation that are too high
Back in the early 00s there was this wave of “phones give you cancer” panic and my friends father made them put on this stupid sticker on the back of their phone to “stop the radiation”. Anyways it was stupid and your comment reminded me of it xD
I remember that. They said it caused brain cancer and to not hold the phone too close to your head.
I wonder if people just talk less on the phone these days or use Bluetooth so it doesn’t really matter anymore? Or maybe it was just fear mongering on tv news lol
I thiiiiiiink this was fear mongering in line with the whole uh… Hannity? Whatever that maniacs name was who has/had the AM station. Basically the pre-fox republican mouthpiece.
Uhhhhhhh I’ve mostly blocked it out, but maybe? It was just some dude that yelled a lot and I vividly remember being in the car when the soliders or whatever had recently been beheaded (it was on the news cycle?), and he was like “hrrr drrr people are trying to keep the truth away from 'mericans!” so he aired part of the audio clip of them being beheaded???!?!
It might actually have actually been local Fox News on OTA TV. That was one of the only couple of channels the antenna brought in to watch. Guess they have been at it for a long time.
No this was on AM radio 0: my mom specifically listened to him on AM because idk he was too radical or whatever for FM? lol idk how it works, but they have been at it for a long while.

You take that back!
I had a sticker that had flashing LEDs powered solely on the radiation coming from the phone. It was awesome.
OK now THAT is cool

RFK Jr. is still making that crazy claim.

Are you thinking of Rush Limbaugh? Who later actually died of (lung) cancer because he wouldn’t stop smoking?

George Norry?
Someone else suggested Rush Limbaugh in a different comment and it is ringing a bell, I’m thinking it was him?
Ah ok I see. I just remembered he had the coast to coast AM radio station, and he got into some wacky stuff.
My grandad still only uses his phone on loud speaker because of this
