So you're saying that you don't want to miss out on any money that can be made from exploiting children?

Zuck may be at the top, but all of Meta violated the law, I assume as an investor you support this "cost of doing business" slap on the wrist because... Profits over everything, amirite?

Zuck and Meta Investors.

The fact that school pension systems, among others, are passively supporting this by refusing to divest is probably a bigger slap in society's face than a single creep like Zuck abusing children for profit.

If only.

If this is the thing that does EA in, we can all feel a little pride and accomplishment.

I've ordered products from some of the brands specifically mentioned, and the quality to price is often great.

Would I buy anything with a battery or an internet connection from them? Probably not. But are many things fine, and likely produced in the same sweat shops as household name brands.

It seems like a stretch to automatically hide every temu-esk brand... The brands themselves don't even attempt to hide what they are.

That doesn't make those components magically cheaper...

I can upgrade anything in my desktop too, but the 4x32gb ddr5 sticks I paid $200 for in 2024 now cost around $1,600.

That was passed federally in 2010 under the CALM Act

Sure, but either way, it's not the employee's problem.

And Federal Devices. If those devices aren't secure, that's not the employee's problem.
