The Ethical Connectivity Pledge

A Voluntary Commitment to Protect Children and Build Safer Digital Infrastructure

Purpose

We recognize that connectivity is no longer a luxury—it is a developmental environment.
Brands that provide wireless services, especially to children and families, carry a responsibility that extends beyond compliance with outdated standards.

This pledge affirms a commitment to precaution, transparency, and innovation where credible scientific evidence indicates potential harm and safer alternatives exist.

Our Commitments

By signing this pledge, we publicly commit to the following principles:

1. Child-First Design

We acknowledge that children are not simply smaller adults. Their developing nervous systems, longer lifetime exposure, and increased biological sensitivity require heightened care.

We commit to designing, marketing, and deploying connectivity solutions that prioritize child health over convenience, speed of rollout, or short-term profit.

2. Science Over Regulatory Lag

We recognize the distinction between scientific evidence and regulatory delay.

We acknowledge that:

  • U.S. RF exposure guidelines are based on 1996 thermal assumptions

  • Courts have found regulatory inaction to be inadequate

  • Peer-reviewed research, including WHO-commissioned reviews, demonstrates non-thermal biological effects and cancer risk in animal models

We commit to precautionary action informed by science—not merely minimum legal compliance.

3. Transparency in Risk Communication

We commit to honest, accessible communication with customers about wireless exposure, especially for children.

This includes:

  • Clear guidance on safer usage practices

  • Avoidance of misleading claims that wireless devices are “proven safe” for children

  • Disclosure when products rely on legacy microwave-based infrastructure

4. Commitment to Safer Architectures

We affirm that radiofrequency-based wireless is not the only path forward.

Where feasible—especially indoors, in schools, homes, and child-focused environments—we commit to:

  • Exploring, piloting, and supporting light-based connectivity (Li-Fi) and other low-exposure alternatives

  • Supporting hybrid architectures that reduce cumulative RF exposure

  • Investing in infrastructure decisions that reduce biological load, not just cost

We acknowledge that Li-Fi is a standardized, viable technology for targeted use cases and represents an ethical opportunity—not a speculative future.

5. Refusal to Scale Hidden Harm

We reject the idea that harm must be “proven beyond doubt” before protective action is taken when children are involved.

We commit to refusing to scale technologies where:

  • Credible evidence of biological risk exists

  • Research has been halted or suppressed

  • Safer alternatives are available but ignored

Precaution is not fear—it is responsibility.

6. Support for Ongoing Independent Research

We support the principle that radiation-emitting technologies require continuous, independent evaluation, as envisioned by Public Law 90-602.

We commit to:

  • Supporting transparent research efforts

  • Avoiding interference with scientific inquiry

  • Advocating for the resumption of long-term health studies on wireless exposure

7. Ethical Leadership Over Industry Norms

We acknowledge that cultural influence carries power.

When we market connectivity to children or families, we accept that our decisions shape norms, expectations, and long-term health outcomes.

We commit to leadership—not silence—when existing industry practices conflict with emerging scientific understanding.

Our Declaration

We affirm that ethical sourcing does not end with food, labor, or materials.

Connectivity itself must be ethically sourced.

When safer architectures exist, choosing them is not optional—it is a moral decision.

We sign this pledge to demonstrate that innovation, success, and responsibility can coexist—and that protecting children is not a regulatory burden, but a leadership opportunity.
