Mr. Blue_Shirt Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 Let's be real. Whether this is PR or not, the fact that Apple even allowed this question is still shocking because corporations like them won't even acknowledge all the sh*tty exploitative things they do, even in staged "face-to-face" interviews This is not designed for folks who already know what’s up. It’s for liberals, especially western liberals, who need a way to be invited over to the side of reality, which is the humanitarian crisis and genocide that are happening in Congo This is about as pro-Congo liberation as you can get in western mainstream media, sadly 2
ket Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 Disgusting of dua to partake in this if its staged 2

It won't actually matter because Dua didn't challenge him on it or tried to receive assurances that Apple would stay away from Congo and benefiting from child labor. 1
popmusic Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 Definitely staged, I saw smaller artists' interviews backstage and everything is agreed 1 1
glitch Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 People in the replies on twitter believing this is genuine 1
Troll Idle Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 She is way too weak to ask a question like that as a result of her own curiosity. And she is way too bad at acting to make someone believe this is not a staged and cheap PR. What a brainwashed troll. I guess that happens when you have too much money and are drunk two times a week since 2020. 3 1 4
Daddy Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 On that sheet of questions was not a single word that wasn't discussed with Apple before the interview. 1
Totami Legend Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 PR strategy to promote both apple and dua, a win win situation
BrokenMachine Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) I thought she was going in until it seem the CEO actually had that response very rehearsed to save face Edited November 18, 2023 by BrokenMachine
Feanor Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 He's the CEO of the biggest company in the world, no way did Apple not pre-approve all questions, including this one. Nevertheless, it's still a big deal to interview him, so congrats to Dua. 1
Kern Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 she's coming for the Grammy and then for that second tier Nobel Peace Prize 2
Afterglow Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 Fake or not at least somebody has talked about this in the media. Literally millions of Africans (not just in the Congo) have died and been enslaved so we can lineup for tablets and cell phones and talk about pop girls on ATRL. It's been happening longer than anyone can imagine and we all ignore it and only care about our own sociopolitical issues. 1
Bad_vocal_technique Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 Dua seems like a genuine person. I believe her! 1
FreeXone Posted November 18, 2023 Posted November 18, 2023 Honestly Congo is going through a lot right now. And dua is bringing awareness. I never knew about the cobalt crises until this thrad. also right now in Congo almost 7 million of them are being displaced!! It is an atrocity!

The7thStranger Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 I work as an editor for a PR team. Trust me when I say that all of this stuff is staged and agreed upon before. 1
Hurem Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 It's 2023 and ATRLers are just finding out interviews are pre-planned? Wait before they find out that pop girls also know exactly what they're gonna be asked in any single interview they do. Gasp!

It's not about the interview being pre planned, its about the topic at hand, apple doesn't care about child labour and the displacement of congolese people
