[Peace-discuss] Pointing out Apple's slave labor should probably not be done by people not pushing you to "transfer cash to Apple"

It looks like Glenn Greenwald is now (as of today, 2022-02-02) chastising David 
Crosby for "forcing anyone who wants to listen to [Crosby's music] to transfer their 
cash to Apple, while they are linked to multiple instances of profiting from *slave 
labor*, reveals a lot about whose lives are valued and whose aren't." per 
https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1488972631382667267 which I saw via Jimmy 
Dore's pointer to that post.

But Callin, Greenwald's chosen service for doing live shows, also pushes people to 
get a device that can run iOS which is the only operating system where Callin runs. 
There might be plans to port Callin to other OSes but that hasn't happened yet, as 
far as I know. Therefore the only such device is an Apple device which means 
"transfer[ing] their cash to Apple".
