But before you point fingers, let me tell you this. Blackberry, Samsung, and Apple, technology and mobile giants, have been accused and confirmed of using child labor in their more obscure, worldwide factories. In China - Both Samsung and Apple have been using child labor in their factories...

So as we see, even the cleanest of companies is dirty low-down, proving that no problem can ever be completely solved or corruption completely cleansed. There were always be a drop left over from a drained sea, a grain of sand from a once full beach. Technology companies have been caught red-handed using child labor in their manufacturing, and whether or not it can be completely rid of, they need to do something about it. And let's not even start on the chocolate companies...
