I think the problem is that it's not generally as clear cut as "company does bad thing". Your example is that apple relies on child labour, but apple doesn't directly employ children (probably) it was one of their suppliers, or one of their suppliers suppliers. So who actually knew, did employees at apple know and did they attempt to put a stop to it? Was the entirety of apple aware or just one rogue employee? Did their supplier even manufacture apple products using child labour or was it products for a different company? Basically what I'm getting at is that it's a nuanced topic and if you are to paint it with a broad stroke of "companies that have done something bad" then you can put almost every company on that list.

I assumed it was an issue with pihole blocking it or something, glad to see it's not just me

I'm surprised they weren't doing that before

That would be under controversy for apple but OP wants something the other way around where each company is listed

I think it's safe to assume that basically every major company tech or not is or has been involved in something bad

It's probably made by one person or a small group of people in an unofficial capacity meaning they're not doing eveything they should. So it could mean anything really.

First of all fuck companies that just run on investor money making a huge loss to price out anyone else. Fuck openAI especially for doing that and somehow convincing a bunch of respectable companies to integrate their AI bullshit in places it doesn't belong by making the price so low, which will come back and bite consumers when openAI inevitably puts the price up. Fuck them for overselling the capability of their AI and fuck them for taking advantage of the openness of the Internet to create it.

The Linux community loves to put the responsibility on the user to understand every facet of what they're trying to do without explaining it

Lovely use of the word "profit" in the title then switching it to "revenue" in the actual article. Different things.
