Ick. The sordid underbelly is exposed. What is the solution? It seems the only solution is to quit buying these things. We do not have the collective will to do that, particularly when most of us don’t even know.
The first step then seems to be vivid, relentless exposure, such as this infographic. Raise the level of embarrassment of these companies. Make it tough for them to turn the blind eye. It could still come down to us having the will to do without until things are changed.
Are there any tech companies who do not use these slave factories?
