Interesting, I wasn't aware of Fairphone. Here's their supplier list btw, in case anyone wants to check out:

Still seems to be mostly China (48 out of 65), but the fact they make it public is highly commendable.

Other comment has a list of suppliers.

One of which is "O-Film"

Apple dropped them because they used forced labor: https://9to5mac.com/2020/12/03/iphone-camera-supplier-o-film...

So, it's probably reasonable to suspect that FairPhone does (or did) use suppliers that used forced labor. I only checked the one because I had remembered hearing it somewhere.

Why are you moving the goalposts? What does the history matter, the list of countries currently with millions of people in concentration camps is quite short.

You need to raise your standards. Concentration camps are inherently evil, it does not matter how many people are in them. A concentration camp isn’t acceptable just because it only has 999,999 people in it.

As far as I can see they are not moving the goalpost. They simply asked to what mobile phone brand they can go to make things better.

Yes, the answer is: not one.

The goal post moving was the phrasing "with any history of human rights issues" (emphasis mine). The goal was: let's not do business with places who are currently abusing human rights like this. The goal post was then moved to: let's not do business with places with any history of human rights issues.
