Foxconn and its competitors manufacture for many companies, not just Apple. Why doesn't anyone raise these concerns when we discuss the Xbox and PS4? Or any of the countless other tier-one products manufactured by Foxconn?
Have you ever raised these concerns about Samsung products and their responsibility towards the miners of rare earth minerals?
(And let's not forget that a Foxconn worker has always been statistically less likely to commit suicide than an American citizen.)
