Avoid taking your phones in the bathroom, as it can expose you to radiation and increase your chances of haemorrhoids.

Emphasis mine, but seeing this made me immediately discount this site as a reputable source.

    That came out of nowhere after a bunch of already known but reasonable advice. Was it written by AI and not checked for misinformation, or is it just spreading the cell phone radiation misinfo in an organic, human way, I wonder?

    Piefed has a little red icon next to the source which recommends checking MBFC for its credibility.

    Overall, we rate New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) Right-Center Biased and questionable due to the promotion of propaganda, poor sourcing techniques, a lack of transparency and several failed fact checks.
