Tim Cook launches criticism companies to use user data

Apple CEO rejects the privacy imposed in exchange for free access.

In a videoconference in Washington, Tim Cook, Apple CEO, launched strong criticism of Internet companies by the income they get in exchange for user data.

"They're eating everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize. We think that's wrong. And is not the kind of company that Apple wants to be, "said Tim Cook.

While Apple CEO did not mention specific names, some media specializing in the subject claim referred to giants like Google, Facebook and Twitter.

Cook also said that its customers would not have to choose between privacy and security. Also he rejected the idea that users must accept the conditions of privacy for a free service. "We believe that people have a fundamental right to privacy. The American people demand it, the constitution demands and morality of the rules. "

, "Maybe you like these services free calls, but we will not be worth your email, your search history data, and even your family photos be sold for God knows what purpose advertising," said Cook. "We believe that one day, you will see it for what it is."
