Apple has been accused of its supply chain using what are called conflict materials, linked to militia groups in the Congo. Apple maintains that it has stopped using tin, tungsten, and tantalum mined in the region, and it has dropped suppliers who did.
Nonetheless, activists from Fridays For Future (FFF) have vandalized one of Apple’s two stores in Berlin, specifically to draw attention to the company’s alleged practices. According to German newspaper Tagesspiegel, the store was smeared with red paint as part of the Day of Action Against Exploitation in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
