by African families whose kids have been 'maimed or killed' mining cobalt to be used in lithium batteries.

The lawsuit was filed in Washington DC on Sunday on behalf of five children who were killed and 11 who were injured working in the mines.

They were all aged between 13 and 17 when the incidents occurred.

The lawsuit alleges that the US tech giants know and 'have known for a significant' amount of time that child workers are used in the 'dangerous' mines where the cobalt that ends up in their products is used.

Cobalt is an essential part of lithium batteries which are used in almost all of the companies' products.

So the DRC doesn't have child labor laws? If they don't care, why should the tech companies?

See for example, Cecil Rhodes and blood diamonds. Life is cheap on the dark continent.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
