What do you mean with "syndrome"? Of course business customers can not be held responsible for what other businesses do. If Amazon buys floor tiles for their factories from a company that provides floor tiles to many other companies, how can Amazon be held responsible for any of their unethical practices?
Or is it the faith of hackers that any misdoing in the world should always be traced back and blamed on a tech giant? From the article:
"There is no evidence to suggest that the companies identified in the images had any knowledge that a part of their project had been subcontracted to North Korean animators."
If it's a subsidiary, that's another case.
- kalleboo 3y agoIf Amazon sells me floor tiles full of asbestos, they should sure as hell be held responsible, they can't just absolve it with "oh but we bought it from another company, go complain to them" So why is it different if they sell me floor tiles made with slave labor? Global retailers like H&M and IKEA do do audits of their supply chain to try to stop labor abuse (although how effective they are at that is up to debate)
- carlosjobim 3y agoThat's a completely different thing. But if you unknowingly buy floor tiles that have been made with unethical practices, should you be held responsible as a customer? Of course not.
