Ok, but this still leaves unanswered the question of whether and to what degree you have a moral obligation to become better informed about the consequences of your actions. Many people are blissfully unaware of what happens in factory farms. Are they doing nothing (subjectively) wrong, or is there a sense in which we can say they “should have known better”? Can I absolve myself of subjective wrongness just by being an ignoramus?

They’re doing nothing subjectively wrong if they really don’t know. But if they knowingly don’t look into it then they’re a bit blameworthy.
