Even if the constant surveillance doesn’t bother you, maybe the constant radiation exposure will. Last year, the World Health Organization warned that exposure to high levels of Electromagnetic Fields (aka “Electrosmog”) could cause health issues in a significant percentage of the population. Sources of Electrosmog include all wireless technology – activity trackers, Apple AirPods, cell phones, home assistants (Alexa, Google Nest, etc.), utility “Smart” Meters, WiFi routers, wireless chargers, etc.

Research has determined that wireless exposure can:
