I wonder if there would be a market for actual electromagnetic shielding products, such as some sort of conductive paint for walls and ceilings? Of course, you could not use your phone or other devices, but it could be useful for the bedroom. A good way to have a guaranteed "do-not-disturb" zone as well!

#13Sort of related: had a customer with a problem where data on a serial line got corrupted which is usually resolved by applying proper shielding all around the cable, i.e. standard Faraday cage principle. So English not being my native language I wanted to explain this in correct terms and entered the term 'emf shielding' in a search engine just to doublecheck. I think 90% of the results on the result page were all like this, 'protect your family from dangerous EMF'-style. Image search: the same, images of entire iron curtains meant to be put around your bed etc. Since this was using Duckduckgo, which as far as I know does not suffer from the typical 'search bubble' like on Google, I'm afraid this is an accurate representation of.. what actually? The internet being flooded by companies wanting to make easy money? There being serious amounts of people with a misunderstanding of EMF, it's sources and effects?

#14How is it not illegal to sell these?
It does not directly claim any health benefits. If this is illegal then it would be illegal to sell "healing" crystals and goop would not exist. Really it's not much different than selling a wooden cross that will "protect you against satan".
It does claim, however, removing 5G waves. Which if true, would fall under radar jamming in FCC and be highly illegal. $50k fine.
(Unless it is passive - aluminum foil or a mesh cage, which is perfectly legal.)
Therefore it's false advertising.

#15What a lazy job! The least they could’ve done was to throw in a low frequency oscillator, to give it some credibility. Fighting high-frequencies with low. :) OTOH, the reasoning for poor construction of these devices is probably similar to the reasoning for poor English in 419 scam emails.
Having an oscillator on radio frequencies would require FCC stamp of approval.

What would you want to treat?

Also a guaranteed way to be unable to call emergency. You better have a stationary wired phone line in there.

#18On the subject of placebo technology. How well do HN think placebo software would work? An example would be a productivity app that only has a flip switch for High or Low productivity. Whenever you need to be extra productive, just open the app and set it to High.
Would it add a slight matrix-style effect of symbols streaming down the screen? Or at least set the cpu fan to high?

Does it? All I can see on their site that implies blocking/jamming is "balance and harmonisation of the harmful effects of imbalanced electric radiation", which seems vague and pseudo-science-y enough to not break any laws.
