MODERATORS
I didn’t say i didn’t like it, i said it wasn't mandatory to use it.
Your comment (and the context of this post) implied active usage, which is what i was responding to.
If you want to come at it from a "there is no ethical consumerism" point of view, you might be right that it is, or will be, everywhere.
There is still a distinction between the choice to actively use it and the pseudo-passive background knowledge that it might have been used as part of something in your daily life..
Like the knowledge that modern consumer electronics supply chains have a prominent core of slavery and exploitation doesn't make buying a phone the same as owning a slave.
"It's already everywhere, so you might as well use it" isn't a good catch-all policy and i don't think it's a good approach to this specific scenario.
But you do you.
