It definitely sounds like you're trying to excuse the labor exploitation of multinational corporations. I was just pointing out that the network doesn't figure out how to classify things without a massive human undertaking. Are you suggesting that if something is common across the globe then we shouldn't complain about it?

That was not my intent. I probably worded my thoughts poorly. Indeed, though I am far more advantaged than those data laborers I’m feeling a bit exploited myself lately.

No. I guess the crux of my comment is what would they be doing for income otherwise? And which would they choose, given the fact they’re being exploited.

Sometimes the choice is not between good and evil, but between evil and less evil. We should be happy less evil is an option at times while hoping for good.

Yes. This is where I was going. Thank you.
