If you've ever wondered why YouTube goes so hard on ads when they make the experience so miserable, well, there's your answer.

    Do you have amnesia? Because you definitely made a claim without providing evidence.

    Not OP, but your smart phone may not have been assembled with child labor, but some of the components/minerals used in its construction have been tied to child labor in the past.

    So go on then. Provide that evidence.

    Of course, we’re not discussing iPhones of the past. The matter under discussion is specifically the phone I have now. Nice try with that strawman.

    So go on. Provide evidence for your claim. And try to do it without any more logical fallacies. Other than the whataboutism that you wrote in here on, by the way.

    Edit: trolls get blocked. I’m sure you’ll find some way to blame me for that too.

      For the record, you are obviously a very negative and angry person. Which Lemmy seems to be a somewhat breeding ground for. I would encourage to spend more time offline.

      https://money.cnn.com/2016/01/18/technology/smartphone-child-labor-cobalt/

      And then

      https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2019/dec/16/apple-and-google-named-in-us-lawsuit-over-congolese-child-cobalt-mining-deaths

      And then

      https://abcnews.go.com/amp/International/us-court-absolves-top-tech-companies-congos-child/story?id=107839639

      It’s important to note that while several large tech companies were found not guilty of knowingly benefiting from child labor, their supply chain still benefitted from child labor; it simply couldn’t be proven they had knowledge of what was happening.

      Unfortunately, based on your previous response, I do not expect you to respond in a reasonable and mature manner, and have no desire to spend anymore time with someone like yourself. This is where we sort ways. Cheers mate.
