Speaking from the US perspective, Europe still imports from Xinjiang region of China, where over 2 million Muslims do forced labor. The US banned imports already. Not only that, according to SCMP, they more than doubled in just August.

Straighten out the obvious before adding another yoke on small businesses.




We also import goods from the US where prisoners do forced labour.

At any rate; one bad thing does not cancel out another. We can fight both slave labor and strive for protecting citizen data.


True - but equating the US prison system to what is happening to them is an absurdity. It’s like if Nazi Germany said their camps weren’t that bad, after all, the US has prisons.


The Nazi camp counterpart for US would be Guantanamo: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_cam...

They just moved it to occupied foreign soil to technically not have a concentration camp in US soil. But then Germany had concentration camps in occupied soil as well, like Auschwitz in occupied Poland.


That does not answer my question at all
