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

You first

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.
