You're probably being downvoted because your argument makes as much sense as asking someone why they drive a car if some people kill people with them, so surely they must be complicit. Just because illegal activity can happen, doesn't make everyone part of that illegal activity.

If Apple makes phones using kids, buying an iPhone makes you implicit. Despite western narrowed vision. That's not your example.

Your example: If one iPhone was used as a hammer to bash a window, when you make a call, with a different iPhone, you're implicit. Which is wrong.

The idea is criticizing where you put your money. In companies that exploit children, and actively build our generation's "9 out of 10 doctors smoke" mentality, or elsewhere?

I literally don’t get these replies. Of course if I use iPhones and Apple exploited children I’m complicate as well.

You comparing using a phone to bash a window is nonsensical. Buying the phone makes you complicit.
