    Fairphone had audits that prove it’s an improvement in both sustainability and worker conditions.

    key word there is ‘improvement’. it’s still a for profit company and they will ultimately make whatever decisions are in the best interest of the company to make a profit.

    they are undoubtedly better, but their baseline is still the same, to make money.

    there is no nuance, at all, to the fact that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. it’s pretty black and white. there are ways to be less unethical (e.g., fairphone), but not to be ethical.
