No one cared to begin with. Just look up the horrors involved with Apple phones. People want their fancy devices. Doesn't matter if slave labor is involved. Doesn't matter if we need to add nets to prevent laborers from killing themselves instead of putting up with the horrible conditions we force them into.
Don't ask german car companies what they were doing between 1939 and 1945
We all know that. Doesn't mean we need to be OK with that forever should any other company attempt that?
Also don't ask VW what they did in latin America, or east China.
yes, because when cars were bad and chinese brands were cheap, it was virtuous to pinpoint human rights vs 'chinese cars are yucky and i want to look cool'.
