Apple CEO calls for privacy laws
Tim Cook asked the United States Congress to implement a federal law that protects the privacy of users
The CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, demanded from the United States Congress a federal law that protects the privacy of users, sure that the company he runs is ready to comply.
Cook again appealed to the defense of privacy. A concept he refers to as a “fundamental human right” in a letter to Congress.
Apple’s CEO believes Americans are “closer than ever” to “meaningful” privacy protection. A milestone that he defends as possible thanks to the parallel work of Congress and the country’s president, Joe Biden.
Given this context, the CEO of the technology urges “strongly” to promote privacy legislation “as soon as possible”. In addition, he offers the support of Apple throughout the process.
The intervention of Congress is necessary for Cook, since for him only this body can guarantee the necessary protection measures to cover “all Americans” with a legal umbrella.
Apple’s CEO laments that the “continued absence” of this legislation “will perpetuate a fragmented approach” to the right to privacy. In turn, this leaves many people without the protection provided by the standards that the imposition of a regulation would entail.
The letter comes shortly after a bill called the “American Data Privacy Protection Act” was announced. This suggestion, prepared by Democrats and Republicans, proposes to limit the types of personal data that companies can collect and what use they can make of it.
