I didn’t say i didn’t like it, i said it wasn't mandatory to use it.

Your comment (and the context of this post) implied active usage, which is what i was responding to.

If you want to come at it from a "there is no ethical consumerism" point of view, you might be right that it is, or will be, everywhere.

There is still a distinction between the choice to actively use it and the pseudo-passive background knowledge that it might have been used as part of something in your daily life..

Like the knowledge that modern consumer electronics supply chains have a prominent core of slavery and exploitation doesn't make buying a phone the same as owning a slave.

"It's already everywhere, so you might as well use it" isn't a good catch-all policy and i don't think it's a good approach to this specific scenario.

But you do you.
