All big corporations have been targeted. The big guys are being watched, they couldn't afford to exploit the workers even if they wanted to (I don't want to imply that they do want to)
I'm old enough to clearly remember 1997 but I don't recall anything in particular from that year similar to this. A big difference in 1997, you didn't have a huge population connected to the internet where a story like Foxconn can be easily repeated via forums/blogs/etc.
