This story does not change that fact. The unfortunate thing about this is that it will deflect attention away from the truly horrific conditions in these factories. Fanboys will crow that this exonerates Apple, when it does not. In fact all you Apple and other tech fans are GUILTY of human rights violations simply by buying these products.

We don't actually give a shit about the workers who made them. Screw you, I've got mine should be our national slogan.
