Investigating their manufacturing processes and supply chain does not leave me with warm, fuzzy feels. I also cannot find any info on worker rights, domestically or internationally. Any company that does not list worker wellbeing in their mission statement is suspect in my book.
Thank you very much for pointing this out. As a BIPOC, I always feels so uneasy when companies/projects like this are touted as progressive by leftists.
edit: lol I guess fuck BIPOC who don’t want our people abroad fucked by naive leftists promoting deeply flawed business practices like this, right? "Don’t be naive, brown people will always be our workhorses abroad so stop complaining".
Good point, yet complex multinational supply chains make this task literally impossible. Computers are made of human suffering and eco-destruction. Even a company like Fairphone whose sole purpose is that of social justice is not even close to success in this matter.

The privileged western white leftist’s digital rights > BIPOC’s human rights, as is tradition. Some things never change. Totally a company leftists should support! (thanks @[email protected] for the source).
