The CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, criticized companies like Google and Facebook that operate their businesses, “swallowing” the private data of its users. During a speech, Cook said that individuals should not “compromise between privacy and security”.
As mentioned in the ABC.es website, when the CEO of Apple made an appearance via a video conference in the EPIC’s Champions for Freedom event in Washington clarified that Silicon Valley “some of the most important and successful companies have built business to numb their customers and get some complacency when it comes to your personal information relates. ”
“They are gobbling up everything you can know about you and trying to monetize it. We think that’s wrong. It’s not the kind of company that Apple wants to be”.
Cook tried to differentiate the treatment that Apple gives to private user data with that of its major competitors. “We do not believe that (privacy) is something you have to exchange for a service that is supposed free, but actually ends up having a very high cost. This is even more important when we store data on our health, our money and our houses in our equipment, “he said.
