Justice versus Conscience

I have a moral dilemma, I hate the fact that children in poor countries have to work at all let alone work for pittance and in dangerous conditions. But on the other hand if everyone stops buying photos from these companies that practice this, then what will happen to that child and his family? If he has no job then how will he feed himself and his family? So what’s the solution?

I hate being a consumer. When I was a kid, none of these devices were essential to living a good life. As I’m getting older, I am actively trying to revert back to the simpler life, and I have already started to stop funding such gadgets, and human rights breaches. It’s a process, but I can’t clear my conscience knowing my selfish search for satisfaction and entertainment perches on the backs of people who suffer to just have a meal.

“we investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing” – the tech giants

Necesito que Amnesty traduzca al español estos videos, aunque sea en subtítulos. Esto debe crear consciencia. No todo el mundo habla inglés

The job of investigation and enforcement are the government jobs! Unless the cobalt shipment directly from DRC or labelled it from the result of child labors, it is impossible to tell. DRC government since independent never made a single effort and too busy to fill out its pockets. Those are the one that must be investigated and freeze their account.

besides other things it was interesting for me that people in this video talked much about paying for school etc.

This is a great window into humanity as the total video “views” is tiny even taking a tiny “peak” causes a count increment. If I uploaded a video titled “Elon Musk does blah” I will get more hits in a few months than a video that has been up like this for 2 years, people just don’t care about other people is what it proves, the vast majority of the cobalt goes into electric vehicles as you need huge batteries, the Tesla Semi Truck uses over 1 ton of battery. Don’t let them think for a second Tesla don’t use this cobalt.

what can we as the consumers do against it???

Sharing, Justice and Peace for all.

I send the miracle of Love to the DRC.

Nothing wrong with a little hard work.

Please…Affirm the importance of every single individual. UBI Human Rights Equal Opportunity and Treatment

YOU CANNOT GO AFTER THE COMPANIES OVER THESE ABUSES.. THEY ARE DEAD ENTITIES, YOU HAVE TO GO AFTER THE MEN AND WOMEN ACTING AS CEO.. SUE MEN AND WOMEN FOR THESE CRIMES

Amnesty should promote an UN plan to issue a “certification mark” for commodity companies that increase remuneration with an acceptable minimum guarantee, at least 300%

no way big tech compies use this labor and make money apple should have no part in this

Imagine how advanced this country would be if they were allowed to develop and become a super power utilizing their own riches for their own avanves ……but no they are being deprived of their riches just sad.

Thanks for your reporting. I Love you.

They don’t have to spend money for the investigation, they could just see the video of Amnesty International!!!!!!!!!!!! Insatiable apetite and greediness.

Instead of beautiful environment with economically sound society for millions of people in the community, african choose to have this harsh surrounding living like scavangers so that very few can have posh elite lifestyle.

Is this still occurring?

“Blood, sweat and tears: That’s how we feel the years”
