Let’s take your specific example, even though Nestle isn’t a “tech” company. Does Nestle do everything in its power to ensure it isn’t receiving products from slaves or from wholesalers dealing in slave-produced goods? Does it have as a part of its charter the ethical treatment of all people in its supply chain? Is Nestle doing its best not to do arbitrage on the difference in living standards and regulation that exist on either end of its supply chain? Are Nestles’ investors interested first and foremost in advancing and uplifting the people that ultimately create and consume Nestles products? Does Nestle lobby governments and international bodies to ensure human rights are being upheld? Of course not! The problem is that people fundamentally care more about chocolate Easter eggs than they do about each other. Slavery wouldn’t be a problem if demand for the product wasn’t there. Tech companies exist at the forefront of profiteering by exploiting and reducing inefficiencies in the global market. Jeff Bezos said just as much in his congressional hearing. The problem is that these “inefficiencies” are the lived experiences of the people who actually interact with the tech. Peoples well-being and autonomy and culture are not always diametrically opposed you the interest of these companies, but at best they tend to be orthogonal.
