  Yeah that’s not how this works.

  It’s really not, though. Using their “good product“ ends up supporting the bad person. Most people aren’t OK with that.

  You made a statement, not I. Either you have evidence that most aren’t OK with that, or you don’t.

    Do you have amnesia? Because you definitely made a claim without providing evidence.

    Not OP, but your smart phone may not have been assembled with child labor, but some of the components/minerals used in its construction have been tied to child labor in the past.

    So go on then. Provide that evidence.

      For the record, you are obviously a very negative and angry person. Which Lemmy seems to be a somewhat breeding ground for. I would encourage to spend more time offline.

      It’s important to note that while several large tech companies were found not guilty of knowingly benefiting from child labor, their supply chain still benefitted from child labor; it simply couldn’t be proven they had knowledge of what was happening.

      Unfortunately, based on your previous response, I do not expect you to respond in a reasonable and mature manner, and have no desire to spend anymore time with someone like yourself. This is where we sort ways. Cheers mate.
