It was very difficult back then, it's even more difficult now. Think about 5G: we know already that it's a huge safety hazard[0]. But we'll use it when it's out anyway. Why? Because of short-term benefits. Because the negative effects cannot be measured immediately. Because the tech industry is extremely powerful and there is no way we can avoid 5G, it's simply too late.
