You're right about all your points but you are thinking Casually Sinister rather than Diabolically Malevolent.
The frequency is "feared by some" to damage human tissue. As if your phone becomes a microwave oven and cooks the whole room. Like a little grenade. Or cancer bomb, or zombie activator, or fill-in-the-blank.
I'm not buying it, I don't think the bad guys are even remotely capable of executing on such a Sci Fi plan. The world is scary enough with the points you mentioned, the casual spying and buying/selling of our souls to the marketing advertisers and NSA agents.
Could just as easily have been an Iranian false flag scheme blamed on the CIA to discredit the US deepstate.
How does everyone get the same list of fishy details? Why didn't some people notice some things and other people noticed other things?
It's always gift-wrapped as a complete package.
How many years will they keep pointing the finger before anyone points the sword?
The GOP sucks the Democrats' cocks while the Democrats suck the GOP cocks. Fountains of crony jizz fill their bellies while the commonfolk go hungry.

The sign of genocide is when Bob does a thing and the response is "people of Bob's race suck" instead of "Bob sucks".

I'll believe it on Tuesday. As I mentioned Friday, it's a holiday weekend in US. It could still just be American feds.
