I saw a Twitter thing saying that 1.1 million or so people were talking about the Samsung Galaxy S8. That's fine. A typical article by cnet has 3 problems with the Samsung Galaxy S8, technical stuff related to processors (overheating again lol), and battery life or whatever, great. What this article and the people talking about the S8 are ignoring however is Corruption.
Yes, Samsung is under investigation for bribery in connection with the President of South Korea. Shouldn't this be one of the "problems?" I certainly would have a problem if my phone were made by a company I knew to be corrupt (or at least was suspected of corruption). Also, if big-name Korean families can get away with stuff that other companies cannot that puts Samsung at an unfair advantage, obviously, and allows them to compete where otherwise they would not be able to, thus affecting us all, even if we don't use a Samsung ourselves. That's just Basic Economics (thanks Sowell lol).
By all means continue talking about the latest Samsung whatever, technology is important, but so are morals and that should be reflected in our discussion of technology manufacturers.
