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.
