Explanation / Answer

First part:

Any kind of digital device or computer is not produced completely ethically. For example, a cell phone or smartphone contains more than 40% of plastic which causes serious health hazard to the environment and it's owner. If we check a list of laptop company rankings according to ethics, we will found that first two spots are owned by apple and hewlett packard. Toshiba is in the last place. Sensors and trackers that contains biometric information of a specific person can be hacked. Basically, people know about the ethical issues of any digital device after it's official release. A artificial intelligence robot which is programmed to learn from human can be ethically corrupted and hateful. There are some manufacturers those who sell pirated and unauthorized products. As a whole we can say that any kind of digital device is not ethically manufactured. A very few companies follow the electronic device production ethics partially, but not completely

Second part:

Before buying any kind of digital device or computer one should check the ethical guidelines of the manufacturing company. Before any purchase the product authorization should be checked. Any kind of pirated products should not be purchased. One should avoid any digital device that promotes moral corruption, bullying, etc.

Hope this helps.
