People will often dismiss this by saying "it's non-ionizing radiation" and feel like they're smart somehow for parroting something they don't even understand. It's not wrong, technically. But it is completely irrelevant.
Bluetooth and WiFi are both microwaves operating at the same frequency as, well, your microwave. Same goes for the higher speed bands of 4G/LTE also. If sticking your head in a microwave would have an effect on you, then so do these things. The only difference is the amount of power, and consequently the strength of the effect.
Bluetooth has the lowest power, at only around 2.5 milliwatts. Relatively benign. WiFi is about 1000 times stronger. 4G/LTE is even worse, especially since you'll tend to put it right up to your head and or otherwise keep it next to your gonads. For comparison, a standard microwave oven is only around 200-300 times stronger than a weak WiFi transceiver, and only 30-50 times stronger than a powerful WiFi transceiver.
As with all forms of omni-directional radiation, the effect it has on you drops off exponentially with distance.
There is no requirement that says radiation has to be ionizing in order to be harmful. The non-ionizing radiation robot-response is therefore a logical fallacy.
We can make a similar argument and say a shotgun also does not emit any ionizing radiation. Yet try to stand in front of one when it is fired, and see how it goes.
The summary is that you cannot prove safety by referring to the absence of some harmful effect. Absence of a harmful effect only says that this particular harmful effect is not present. It does not say anything about any other harmful effects.
It's a very clever trick constructed by the wireless industry to make people parrot this fallacy. We need to be sure to point it out every time someone tries to use it.
Yup, radio frequencies can have biological effects. There are actually plenty of studies showing good and bad effects that result from different RF frequencies, even at very low power.
Children sleep slightly better so far. Their sleep cycles became more consistent. Im only turning it off during the night but so far results can be more due to the mild weather making it easier to go to sleep. Will report more after the first week.
I don't use WiFi at home. Admitting to being a phonefag, so stow it. I don't own a computer, a television, tablet, any of that smart shit except my phone. I reject modernity for the most part. It's fuckin unnatural, and I'm definitely healthier without it.
My neighbor is constantly trespassing by wifi. He has SIDs like 8=UUU==D~ and (_o_). This offensive radiation has started giving me dreams about abuse. I'm constantly tired. The PTSD has made me unable to socialize. I lost my job due to this and the extra time at home with these signals has sent me spiraling. One night I couldn't take being repeatedly violated by wifi so I slept outside at the bus stop where I used to work. I don't know how, but the signals found me. I was raped.

They are equally bad for everyone, though.
