"appeals court said buying cobalt in the global supply chain **did not** amount to "participation in a venture" under a federal law protecting children and other victims of human trafficking and forced labor."
The material flow is as follows:
Cobalt mine -> KCC -> Glencore -> Umicore -> LG Chem -> Tesla.
And these suckers decided to sue Tesla (and Alphabet, Apple, Dell, Microsoft) instead of the actual fucking mining companies, or any of the processing companies closer to the actual source of the claimed illegal/unethical activities.
