@alxd With solar cells IMO made by Uyghur slaves abducted by the CCP from Xinjiang as a part of genocide and ethnic cleansing?
Resource intensive neural network algorithm - not OK
Forced labor - OK
Slavery - OK
Abduction - OK
Dictatorship - OK
Authoritarianism - OK
Totalitarianism - OK
Genocide - OK
Ethnic cleansing - OK
Am I understanding the values correctly?

@crispius #Slavery never ended in the #USA, because #ConvictLeasing and #ForcedLabour of incarcerated are still a thing!
"Australia's anti-slavery commissioner asks Tony Burke for visa reform after inquest into Jerwin Royupa's death."
The "21-year-old from the Philippines, was granted this visa to undertake work at a winery in New South Wales in 2019. In January a coroner found Jerwin was exposed to "potentially criminal" conduct and was "exploited" by his sponsor. "

The #KafalaSystem for #DomesticSlavery was introduced to the #UnitedKingdom in 2012 [1].
"Interviewees described ... criminal abuses including #ForcedLabour; verbal, physical, and psychological abuse; and confinement ... employers locking them in the house and giving them only leftover food." Plus "excessive working hours, denial of time off, low salaries, and late or non-payment of salaries ... well below the UK minimum wage." [2]

@Natanox I agree in your assessment.
People being subjugated under threat if homelessness, starvation and death is the problem!
"In February, Sheffield Hallam University, home to the Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice (HKC), a leading research institution focused on human rights, ordered one of its best-known professors, Laura Murphy, to cease research on supply chains and forced labour in China."
Academic freedom is threatened by institutional conflicts of interest. Her research has been reinstated after she said she would take legal action.

I don't want the UK to be further sucked in to the US led campaign against China, but stuff like this obstructs efforts to tamp down Sinophobia.

@cryptadamist @brian_greenberg Granted, they do utilize #MoneyMules and #ShellCompanies as well as #CryptoExchanges to obtain said value.
Obviously #Thailand (which acts as transit/gateway and starting point for #investigators looking for people #missing that turn out to be coerced if not flat-out abducted into these #ForcedLabour setups) isn't happy about an increasing number of (foreign) #diplomats and #investigators wanting to find where their nationals are, as obviously the Thai government isn't at fault.
Not that any nation wants to have cases of abductions and missing foreign nationals within their borders (North Korea doesn't count!) but I guess we can all imagine that this seriously puts a dent in Thailand's reputation re: #tourism and #safety none of the politicans want to see...

"Australia’s now seven-year-old Modern Slavery Act
risks becoming a global laggard, anti-slavery advocates say. Unlike comparable jurisdictions, such as the US and EU, Australia has no ban on imports linked to forced labour, nor does it require companies to act on modern slavery risks – only to report them."
“It’s unacceptable that in Australia at the moment, there is nothing to stop or prohibit people from importing goods into Australia that have been made or that have been suspected to have been made by forced labour."
"...Australia’s legislation needed to move beyond “a regime that focuses all of corporate effort on writing reports about modern slavery, and shift attention to actions required by companies and outcomes”."
