At this point, the whole world has found out about how Facebook crudely treated its users’ personal information in such spectacular fashion. Many have already made their views about the debacle known and no one is buying the excuses of the social network’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg. In a recent interview, Apple CEO Tim Cook even slammed the Facebook boss, saying he “wouldn’t be in his situation.”
The interview was hosted by MSNBC’s Chris Hayes and Kara Swisher of Recode, The Verge reports. The full conversation is set to air on April 6th but some of the details have already been revealed. For example, Cook explained that he wasn’t a big fan of the ability of tech companies to track him wherever he goes on the web and target him with ads.
“[A]ll of a sudden something is chasing me around the web,” Cook said of the feature, calling it “creepy.” More to the point, the Apple CEO stressed that privacy is a concept that the company highly values and that he views it as a human right.
When asked specifically about the maelstrom of trouble that Facebook is currently embroiled in due to the Cambridge Analytica and the SMS data collection scandal combo, Cook said that gathering the data of people to create a profile of them was should never have happened.
“We’ve never believed that these detailed profiles of people, that have incredibly deep personal information that is patched together from several sources, should exist,” Cook said.
The interview also covered other topics aside from the issue of privacy, with education being one of the main points discussed, 9to5Mac reports. Apple seems to have big plans with regards to helping solve some of the biggest issues facing society today, and it all starts with helping to educate the public on the potential solutions to these matters.
