Few people to no person here would be comfortable purchasing a phone knowing people were exploited or harmed in its production. Our ethics did not always encompass labor and human rights when evaluating consumer products. We are just now beginning to widen the scope of our ethics to include the environment. It is reasonable to believe that our ethics will eventually include other sentient creatures, that we share this earth and experience with. Until then, as a vegan it is just weird, and sad, to hear or read stuff like this. Anyhow. Just another perspective.

Millions of people are aware of the exploitative conditions endemic in smartphone factories thanks to the volume of reporting done on the issue over the last decade. If sales are any indication, said millions are quite comfortable in their purchasing decisions.
- splitstud 6y agoReasoning about ethics doesn't include locking in a value set for others. That's not ethics. It is coercion.
- sweetheart 6y agoIt does if you believe in some sort of objective morality.
