Once hardware is sold, especially libre hardware where user restriction is deliberately kept to a minimum, the hardware manufacturer no longer has control over it.

But hardware makers *do* control things like components/materials, operating systems etc, and this is where any ethics focus should be for them.

For social media companies, the focus is different because the range of control is different.
