This is called whataboutism. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism It's a common tactic to deflect attention away from the accusation and change the subject.

I dont think anyone here thinks it is a conspiracy. And I'm sure everyone here expects apple to take proper responsibility. But whataboutism about other companies doesn't hide the fact that there were/are violations. This isn't gonna kill apple, don't worry nor will it permanently tarnish their reputation you're so worried about. But it is a big deal when they do spout green initiatives then get busted for stuff like…

I love how anything negative to Apple gets buried with the quickness. They can do no wrong it seems.

This is in line of when I worked in a semiconductor lab in suburban UK in the 90s. We had a couple of local residents report problems immediately even though we hadn't even started fabrication at that point. They eventually sent out a press release saying that we had moved manufacturing to Scotland. The complaints stopped instantly. The lab was running until at least 2017 with no complaints and regular inspections fr…
> YMMV but some people are crazy. The EPA is however not. But what the EPA say and what the woman claims are disparate. To complicate it further, this woman did in fact live on top of an industrially-zone area which had industrial contamination on site. The apartments are very new (finished construction in ~2019) and they had to agree to a ton of cleanup to get permits to build. There are so many confounding factors…
But she's not the only resident and I haven't heard any indication of a class action.
The author of this has been on a crusade against Apple for years, stemming from an incident that was probably hypochondria. They've outright lied about multiple incidents (see https://twitter.com/shantinix/status/1433297575914971136 ), and I would very strongly doubt any new claims made. For example, a spot check of one of the claims has them currently saying "Still, Gjovik’s limited testing returned results showing…

Edit: you crossed into personal attack in at least one other recent comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40643584) and we've also had to warn you about breaking the site guidelines in the past (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35105366). That's not cool, so please don't do this again.

Your slander doesn't mesh with the EPA report.
If someone else is wrong, the thing to do is either (1) respond with correct information and better arguments; or (2) let go and move on.

I worked at a Colgate manufacturing plant and we were given about a week heads up when the FDA would come do an inspection, we would know the exact day about 3 days before, and we would have about a 4hr heads up when they'll arrive. The way the plant operates normally and when they're there is night and day. We will shut down lines and clean for whole shifts leading up to it and when they're there we'll double the st…
According to the mastodon post this situation is a bit different because it was a (whistleblower?) complaint and thus it was supposed to be a surprise vs typically announced inspections.
