      By that logic. You can’t use nothing who going against your beliefs. That’s impossible, because you can’t know every company beliefs.

        But you can make changes once damning information is discovered or attempt to research products and services to try and minimize your own impact on others suffering.

              It’s like with climate change. Germany has laws against climate change. But they have a small problem: 85% of CO2 is from China and USA. and even like 10% from that 15% comes from poor countries like India or Indonesia, which can’t be asked for any change. I try to not live in a lie. We need to be pragmatic. I believe in transparency of FOSS. But at the same time I think Firefox is doomed to die a slow death. One swallow does not make a summer.
