Apparently devices to block cellphone radiation can actually be dangerous

[Ben321]

I just saw this article that says that devices designed to block cellphone radiation (supposedly sold to those who are paranoid that cellphone signals will give them cancer) actually can contain small amounts of actual radioactive material. Talk about irony!

Not to throw shade on Dutch people cos the few I know are cool. 

Dutch 'authorities' however, well, just look at the current (over) response to, well, you know what.

It's all so silly, too.

If you don't want 5G, don't buy a 5G phone in the first place! It's not like it's a standard feature on every phone. Phones with it cost more.

Even if you do have a 5G phone, you can turn off the 5G modem entirely in options. Phone acts like it doesn't have it.
