In a way this is worse .... We've gone decades with no one even trying to check these results. And the phones are approved with "faith" the business wouldn't lie for profit.
The FCC should be testing the major phones and a random sampling to ensure companies don't just lie on the paperwork.
- dwd 7y agoThe debate about radiation from cell/mobile phones simply refuses to go away. We had decades of denial that smoking wasn't slowly killing us, burning hydrocarbons wasn't a problem, using glyphosate was fine, and more recently that vaping is safe. The track records of profit maximising corporations really doesn't lend itself to giving them the benefit of doubt here either. What this has highlighted is that the testing that kept pushing the debate out further is sounding like a sham. It doesn't address that people carry their phone in their pockets, and many don't hold it the prescribed way when they use them. The manufacturers' tests would also be conducted in places with excellent coverage, not the worst case situation where you're only getting one bar.
