Facebook's business model is unlike Apple's business model in that it does not make money from sending 12-year-olds into cobalt mines.

A recent change in procurement doesn't change the fact that they grew their business on the backs of teenagers who were sent into unreinforced holes in the ground to dig while kindergarten age children crushed the ore without the benefit of any protective gear.
I'm an iPhone user and I understand the world is a messy place. My point is it's rich of Cook, whose sub-contractor had to install nets outside of windows to prevent suicides, to lecture Zuckerberg about morals.
At the end of the day, Facebook has built an incredibly powerful adtech platform. An unpopular person used it to get elected. That's bad. Tim Cook's career has been spent building workplaces that either crushes spirits, leading to suicide, or literally crushes bodies in mine collapses.
This is the kind of response that I am increasingly finding indistinguishable from propaganda intended to sow discord.
I'm calling out the CEO of the largest corporation in the world for moral failings in his business model. I wish higher profile reporters were doing so.
The goal is not to sow discord, it's to highlight hypocrisy.
I’m sure Apple has a long way to go on several fronts, but one sided hyperbole like in the above comment is unproductive.
Like I said in the OP, I know the world isn't perfect. Normally, I wouldn't call out Apple. But when Cook decides to lecture about the dangers of social media and privacy and calls for more regulation, which would also weaken his competitors, he should have his bad practices brought to light.
All that said, I wouldn't highlight Apple's supply chain failings if their CEO wasn't out chastising competitors for the undesirable traits of their business models.
