Ethical Connectivity Is Not Optional: A Public Challenge to Beast Mobile and Trump Mobile
RF Safe argues that celebrity-branded mobile services (citing reported plans for “Beast Mobile” and the announced “Trump Mobile”) could normalize near-body, all-day phone use—especially among children—and therefore carry ethical responsibility for scaled RF exposure. The piece cites legal and scientific developments (including the 2021 Environmental Health Trust v. FCC decision, the U.S. NTP animal studies, and a WHO-commissioned systematic review) to claim the evidence base has “moved decisively” toward concern about long-term RF-EMF effects. It also promotes a proposed mechanistic framework ("S4–Mito–Spin") and suggests shifting indoor connectivity toward Li‑Fi (IEEE 802.11bb) as a harm-reduction approach.
The Quiet Policy That Decides Whether Children Get Protected—or Preempted
RF Safe argues that children’s everyday wireless exposure is primarily shaped by policy choices (laws, agency guidance, research mandates, and procurement practices) rather than by technology alone. The post promotes an “Act Now” hub that offers coordinated advocacy actions aimed at changing federal and local rules, increasing research and oversight, and shifting indoor connectivity toward alternatives such as Li‑Fi. It frames current governance as outdated and restrictive, particularly around local authority and federal agency accountability.
RF Safe Launches “Ethical Connectivity Pledge,” Calls on Beast Mobile, Trump Mobile, and Celebrity Backed Wireless Plans to Lead the Light Age With Integrity
RF Safe announced an “Ethical Connectivity Pledge” aimed at celebrity- and creator-branded mobile plans, urging them to adopt child-first design standards, improve transparency, and invest in lower-exposure connectivity options such as Li‑Fi where feasible. The organization argues that current microwave-based wireless networks may pose plausible health risks—especially for children—and that business models can externalize long-term health costs onto families and public systems. The pledge is presented as a public signatory framework with tiers of commitment and an intent to enable public scrutiny of follow-through.
Open Letter to MrBeast
RF Safe founder John Coates publishes an open letter urging YouTuber MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) to make any potential “Beast Mobile” offering explicitly child-protective and “Li‑Fi compatible,” arguing that phones carried close to the body could scale long-term RF exposure among children. The letter frames current regulatory compliance as insufficient for a youth-focused brand and claims that “non-native EMFs” may disrupt biological timing and redox processes via an “S4–Mito–Spin” framework. The piece is advocacy-oriented and does not present new study data in the provided text.
Beast Mobile Ethical Connectivity Is Not Optional
RF Safe argues that companies marketing wireless connectivity to children should adopt a precautionary, “ethical connectivity” approach rather than relying on existing U.S. RF exposure rules. The piece claims current FCC guidelines are outdated and cites a 2021 D.C. Circuit decision criticizing the FCC’s retention of its RF limits, along with assertions about WHO-commissioned reviews and animal evidence. Overall, it frames wireless exposure for children as a credible risk and emphasizes regulatory lag and legal constraints as reasons for voluntary industry action.
MrBeast: If You’re Going to Launch “Beast Mobile,” Don’t Put a Microwave Transmitter in Kids’ Pockets Without a LiFi Exit
RF Safe argues that a potential MrBeast-branded mobile service (“Beast Mobile”) could drive high adoption among children and therefore raises ethical concerns about children’s exposure to radiofrequency (RF) emissions from always-on, body-worn devices. The post claims the scientific and legal context has shifted and contends that relying on existing regulatory compliance is insufficient, urging a “LiFi compatibility plan” as an exposure-reduction alternative. It cites modeling literature about potentially higher localized absorption in children and references a 2025 systematic review it says found increased cancer incidence in RF-exposed experimental animals, while framing the overall situation as negligence if child-focused marketing proceeds without additional safeguards.
