Not guilty.
That's the verdict of a US federal appeals court in a case involving five tech companies accused of benefitting from child labour in Congolese mines. On 5th March, 2024, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia made a 3-0 decision in favour of (Google’s parent company) Alphabet, Microsoft, Dell, Tesla and Apple Inc. in a case filed by 16 former Congolese child miners and their guardians.
The plaintiffs accused the companies of "deliberately obscuring" their dependence on child labour, in effect abetting the exploitation of many children to ensure steady supplies of cobalt. Some of the complainants were the guardians of children who’d been killed in cobalt-mining operations.
The court ruled that buying cobalt in the global supply chain did not amount to "participation in a venture," and there was no proof that the tech giants had anything more than a buyer-seller relationship with suppliers or had the power to stop the use of child labour.
Cobalt is in high demand as competition for market leadership in Electric Vehicle sales kicks into high gear. Nearly two-thirds of the world's cobalt is mined in DR Congo. The country has 2-million artisanal miners working under horrible conditions, according to DelveDatabase, an online database. Four critical minerals - copper, nickel, cobalt and lithium - will generate $16 trillion in the next 25 years, according to the IMF.
DR Congo's vast wealth is the key reason for the country's long history of exploitation and conflict - from Belgian King Leopold II running the country as his private estate to Western tech firms churning out high-end goods using Congolese minerals.

Unemployment suits capitalism. It is an excellent thing for so-called private enterprise. It weakens the bargaining power of the workers (who have only their labour to sell), and it makes sure of a steady pool of cheap labour.
Ambassador of #Cuba in #Nigeria, @AfricaMMorales held a meeting with Dotun Israel, Executive Director of Diplomatic Vista Magazine.
The main consequences caused by the blockade of the #UnitedStates to Cuban people and the achievements in health and education were the main topics.
The US gov has been consistently complicit in the genocide against #Palestinians in #Gaza, providing material, financial & military support for the slaughter. US weapons kill women & children, & destroy their homes, without the slightest regard for the respect of human rights.
121 years ago today, the agreement was signed by which the #US established the illegal Guantánamo naval base, a military enclave that violates the sovereignty of #Cuba and the human rights of the prisoners.
