The sheer human toll of mining in the DRC is wildly underreported.
Two challenges: first, yes, this does make life harder for Slack etc, but, if we took this logic at face value then your word processor would not be allowed to include a spell checker and your spreadsheet could not do charts (in the 1980s both of these were separate purchases). What’s the coherent theory for how we choose the trade-off between
