If you consider Foxconn slave labor, maybe. Except Foxconn wages are generally considered to be good for the area (thus why so many employees do it seasonally for a few months during the ramp-up each year). It's a better factory than many.
Yes, the netting to prevent suicides looks really bad... until you consider Foxconn employs 1.2 million people. Their suicide rate once that is considered is lower than the general population. Perfect? No, but within reason.
Finally... every tech company uses Foxconn, from Intel to Google to AMD to Lenovo to Sony. Don't blame Apple when everyone is to blame.
- fartcannon 5y agoYes blame Apple as they have the most money and thus the most responsibility to do better. 3 trillion dollars is worth how many human lives?
- gjsman-1000 5y agoMarket cap is not money they can just spend within factories they don't own.
- roflulz 5y agothe US was built on the back of slaves and continues to be run on stolen land. How is doing business with any American business any different?
- MisterSandman 5y agoWhat a stupid fucking comment. It's been decades since Slavery was a thing and anyone with half a brain cell condemns it. To say that it's okay for Apple to exploit workers because "that's how America was built" is mind-bogglingly stupid.
