Does the Pinephone rely on components built with slave labor?

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").

That part is true no doubt. In this case I was thinking people who are officially forced to work as slaves in the literal sense: Prisoners of conscience who are required to build components under arrest with a gun pointed to their heads... typically arrested for their religion or beliefs too, not even some actual practical crime. Being forced to work because you can't find another job is a softer version in a way, sadly we're at the point where we have to separate by "worst of the worst" as a criteria.
