I’m talking for example about Apple relying on child labor in China for cheap labour, being directly responsible for suicides in the factories of their Chinese partners, them sabotaging their clients phones to make them slower.
Not only limited to apply but also others like Facebook, Google,… Ideally the information should be presented in a simple and easy to get format.
I think it’s safe to assume that basically every major company tech or not is or has been involved in something bad
But it’s not helpful if these things are not transparent to the consumers on the longterm. Such transparency can help make informed decisions
I think the problem is that it’s not generally as clear cut as “company does bad thing”. Your example is that apple relies on child labour, but apple doesn’t directly employ children (probably) it was one of their suppliers, or one of their suppliers suppliers. So who actually knew, did employees at apple know and did they attempt to put a stop to it? Was the entirety of apple aware or just one rogue employee? Did their supplier even manufacture apple products using child labour or was it products for a different company? Basically what I’m getting at is that it’s a nuanced topic and if you are to paint it with a broad stroke of “companies that have done something bad” then you can put almost every company on that list.
If you only look for bad, you’re guarantee to find it.
These are click bait bad, not well read into bad. “Cheap Chinese labor” is not inherently bad unless you’re for isolationism. Apple, nor any western company is directly responsible for suicides. Jobs at Foxconn were considered one of the better ones relative to the rest of the country, and workers live on site in dorms u like what you’d find in the west. The suicide rate was lower than all 50 US states. Apple only slowed down phones whose batteries were degraded so much that they couldn’t handle the power draw. The alternative was having the phone crash and reboot. They screwed up by not announcing it clearer.
I’d be interested in this as well
Doesn’t Wikipedia generally list this stuff under Controversy?
That would be under controversy for apple but OP wants something the other way around where each company is listed
