Child Cobalt Miners File Response in Opposition to Tech Companies' Motion to Dismiss

John Doe 3, pictured below, and the 14 other Plaintiffs in the case filed their brief in opposition to Apple, Tesla, Google, Dell and Microsoft’s motion to dismiss the case. The Plaintiffs were outraged to see that the companies do not dispute that the children were killed or maimed while mining cobalt for Glencore and Huayou, who supply to these tech companies.
