Does the Pinephone rely on components built with slave labor?
#3
Most of the world consists of slaves.
Except they're usually called "full time employees", and they don't have chains mounted to their feet.
So yeah, while there have been many efforts to ban slavery by both the British and the Americans (and I'm sure more have taken effort in it too), it remains very hard to rule slave labor out altogether.
And even if they do, all it takes is to change the word, and make references to what it used to be less obvious (like replace chains by cubicals, or shorten from 12 hours to 8 hours a day, and call the remaining hours "overtime").

As for the CCP sneaking in backdoors, while it's true and creepy, unless you've ever been to China long term or actually are Chinese, it's less worrisome compared to American 3 letter agencies sneaking in backdoors.
Because at least the CCP limits its efforts to those who are Chinese, have been in China long term, or are on the hit list of the CCP somehow.
American 3 letter agencies on the other hand can do real harm to you indiscriminately, even if you've never been to America before.
