It's easy to blame the governments for everything that goes wrong.
WE the people are the ones in power. WE the people are the ones who vote for the policies of a company by buying their products. Since when did we shift all of our responsibilities to government?
Do we really want to government to control every aspect of what a person or company can or can't do? If yes, then we can't blame the same government that we have to pay so much taxes or complain about lesser freedoms.
And it's not the function of a company to behave unethic just because it's legal. Legality has nothing to do with it. And at the same time, I don't judge anyone for buying at these companies, I just want to make people aware of what it means when you buy some company's product.
OSX is slowly moving towards an operating system where you can only buy at the App Store. Now you still can install outside of it, but the step of adding a checkbox to disable this has already been taken. I would not be surprised if this functionality will become the same as they do on iOS, which is already quite a cage.
About the factories I know that more companies use for example Foxconn, but that doesn't change the fact that this happens and they continue to use the services of these companies.
I'm not judging anyone for buying Apple products, nor do I try to push any opinion. I was just asking a question with the intent that this information might be taken into consideration and to point out our responsibilities as people for the behavior of companies.
