Apple does not want to be compared to other tech giants, like Google and Facebook. According to Tim Cook, the CEO of the California firm, Apple is very different. Why ? Simply because it does not collect the personal data of its users.
In an interview with our colleagues at CNBC, Tim Cook asked US politicians not to put Apple in the same basket as other giants of technology. The CEO actually answers Elizabeth Warren, the senator who proposed dismantling the GAFA. "Large technology companies have too much power - too much power over our economy, our society and our democracy. They destroyed the competition, used our private information for profit "said the woman politician, referring to Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon.
"I am frustrated that technology is considered monolithic. Technology is not monolithic "regrets Tim Cook, annoyed that Apple is compared to companies like Google or Facebook. "It's like thinking all restaurants are the same," says the manager, adding that each firm has "its own personality and its own characteristics." "We're in the same geographic location as a lot of tech companies, that's pretty much our only common point," Cook said.
Unsurprisingly, Tim Cook asserts that Apple stands out from a group like Google or Facebook because it does not take personal data from users. "We do not trade your data. We are on your side, "promises the businessman. A few months ago, he had already said that "we try to collect as little data as possible on your account". How do you welcome Tim Cook's assertions? Is Apple really different from a group like Google? We are waiting for your opinion in the comments.
