In the course of trying to determine whether a specific company was participating and profiting from human rights abuses in China just earlier this morning, I came across this mention of Apple:

TLDR; Apple is one of a number of companies directly implicated and has not even bothered to respond to these reports.

- qiman 6y agoThat's a response to _different_ allegations. Please see pp 23-27 of the original report by the ASPI: https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ad-aspi/2020-03/Uyghurs%20for%20sale_Final.pdf https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ad-aspi/2020-03/Uygh...
