Too much? I won't hear of it.

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.

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.

In my experience, too many .world mods are shit. Just Reddit all over again.

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.

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?

I pay for youtube music. ~$20 a month for up to 5 accounts. Dirt cheap for the return. It comes with ad-free youtube videos. And using some Firefox option won't help me as 90% of my viewing is done on my TV.
