Since it's impossible to prove a negative and taking western hegemony in (western) news sources into account makes i an almost impossible task to disprove the genocide narrative, I'll post the Chinese perspective which provides a much larger context: https://www.qiaocollective.com/education/xinjiang

They need to learn from sodastream how to market unfair and unequal employment conditions.

Maybe don't use slaves in your factories if you do not want to be black listed it's that simple 💅

Then why does US law explicitly allow slave labour? Do they blacklist themselves as well?

Yes everyone on the list is black.

Well, it's not that easy though, is it. You cannot prove a negative. So if I accused you of some sickening murder rape robbing spree where you harmed 20 people and by law it was on you to prove that you didn't do it, you'd be fucked because you couldn't prove that something isn't true.

I mean, screw this og so poor multi billion company and their ~~worthless pieces f shit~~ laser printers, yet I am wary of the increasing tendency internationally to flip "in dubio pro reo" on it's head.

But... you know that a chinese factory does not need approval by US regulators to run, right? Like... the US doesn't run the whole world and it's not a normal thing that US regulators check out foreign factories, nor should it be.

Now if you get accused of using slave labour... how can you prove that you do not do that? You'd need to prove that the slave-labour-factories don't produce anything that then gets sold to you, right? Because absence of slave workers in your factories is not proof that you don't subcontract a slave labour factory. So you'd need to demonstrate that you've got nothing to do with them. But if you don't work with those factories, you have no stake in the factories that exploit slave labour, so you can't let (foreign) regulators into those factories. Now, even if you manage to do that, one could just turn around and say "Well, then you must use another factory we don't know of, prove that this isn't the case". You cannot prove innocence, you can only prove guilt.

Didn't Volkswagen hire an independent inspector who found no evidence of slavery labour in their supply chain?

Have you considered not watching child pornography? It's really easy, just stop watching it. Simple.

What are you even trying to say?

Just because someone makes a bad faith accusation doesn't mean you have to respect it.

Maybe don't regurgitate empire propaganda uncritically if you want people to take you seriously it’s that simple 💅
