Assuming it is true that child labor is used to mine cobalt in some backwoods country that we have no control over....

Are we supposed to then refuse to accept any cobalt, and shut down all manufacturing that uses cobalt?

I mean, that would stop the child labor, and it is morally a “good thing”.

But if you believe that lithium batteries are saving the planet, can’t the next group just sue this group for destroying the lithium battery manufacture, and thereby increasing greenhouse gases and killing us all?

There have been excellent efforts the past decades in the U.S. and Europe to make sure entire supply chains do not use child or slave labor. This is a good thing.

See the U.S. Department of Labor’s report “2018 List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor.”
