People care about utility, usability, and cost. Except for the 10 neckbeards in Hacker News, no one cares about privacy in the real world. People won't stop using Apple products which is built on slave labor in China but will froth in the mouth about privacy.

The mainstream media will be frothing at the mouth at how Apple products are built on slave labor, while all phones, Apples and their competitors, are built in mostly those same factories.

The only difference is that Apple publishes their yearly Supplier Responsibility report, which, yes, does contain reports that their audits found violations. And then the violations are resolved or the supplier is banned. What more are they to do?

There is a long way to go, that’s why it’s a progress report. And yes, there are aspects that are left unmentioned, like the unionization debacle in the stores. But really Apple is not who you should be focusing on for slave labor.
