@frameworkcomputer #framework - Love the sustainability of your PCs. How are you addressing #slavelabor of oppressed people in #Taiwan creating the #intel CPUs for your computers?

Oppressed people including children and Filipino migrants are suffering from modern day indentured slavery while you fund #TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company tech.

They own over 90% of the entire PLANET’S CPU market and had a revenue of over 50 billion dollars last year. What is your excuse for not using #AMD CPUs at the very least?

Also, how are addressing the high price point for your pre-built computers for #disabled people and buyers that cannot assemble your PCs themselves?

Thanks for your time!

Abusive treatment of migrant workers in Taiwan's semiconductor factories

Author: Peter Clarkin, MAJuly 3, 2025HRRC is deeply concerned by the alleged mistreatment of Filipino workers in Taiwan’s semiconductor factories. 16-hour shifts, threats of deportation, and the exploitation of the long established “Broker” system need to be thoroughly investigated, with the introduction of a Government-to-Government direct hiring system long overdue.Taiwan is the world’s biggest producer of semiconductors, with one organisation, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC)

I think people would be best served if they stopped thinking of online platforms as being useless for accomplishing political goals and instead understanding that just as is the case offline, online political actions encompass a wide range of efficacy, everything from the essentially useless to incredibly effective. It's just not the case that there's a dichotomy between effectiveness dictated by how "online" a person is. People who operate primarily online can mobilize massive political action and people who never touch a computer can engage in entirely ineffective political gestures that accomplish nothing. We have to judge political actions by their results, not their medium of operation.

And of course some types of actions are more suited to an online medium than others, but in the modern day, even offline actions are often coordinated online. And so instead of dismissing the internet as a platform for activism, we should instead be asking how we can more effectively utilize it.
