    There’s no slave labor (nor children) involved in producing an iPhone. Unless you completely twist the meaning of the word “slave“ to mean something completely different than what it really means. Of course, unless you have proof that child slaves built my iPhone. I’m pretty sure you don’t.

    As for criticizing self-righteousness, what the hell do you call your entire comment but self-righteous whataboutim?

    A bad person can create a good product. It’s that simple.

    It’s really not, though. Using their “good product“ ends up supporting the bad person. Most people aren’t OK with that.

      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.

      Most people aren’t OK with that.

      What evidence can you provide to support this, or is this simply your opinion?

          Yeah that’s not how this works.

          It’s really not, though. Using their “good product“ ends up supporting the bad person. Most people aren’t OK with that.

          You made a statement, not I. Either you have evidence that most aren’t OK with that, or you don’t.

            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.
