Is there any electronics-company out there that doesn’t let their workers in China and other factory countries work like slaves? There should be something like a “Fair Trade”-label but for electronics.

@nielsk great idea ... something that should be in the fashion industry aswell ... given that there are years of long documented problems there ... and guess what ... there is .... but how many people pay attention to it - even if they are aware.

Cheap convenience in fashion overcomes all moral responsibility at point of purchase for most people ... how else does ‘fashion’ survive.

While we are at it ... how about transport ... the problems of Uber are well documented ... no one can say that they haven’t read the issues around that company and yet when asked why they ride with Uber .. it’s ‘cheap’ and ‘convenient’ ...

So yes ... great idea ... but until people vote with their money and actions against cheap and convenient ... the race to the bottom will continue ... I mean if I can’t see the problem ... so much easier to ignore.

Back to Uber ... the issues and problems stare me in the face ... and they are still ignored.

@nielsk I agree. Unfortunately there is only Fairphone trying to change that industry...
