Apple CEO Tim Cook reportedly gave this ‘advice’ to Mark Zuckerberg after Cambridge Analytica data scandal

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg came under fire globally in 2019 for the Cambridge Analytica data scandal in which the data of over 50 million Facebook users was used without their consent for voter profiling. After the data breach, the Facebook CEO had a chat with Apple CEO Tim Cook at a gathering organised by the investment bank Allen & Company for tech and media honchos in Sun Valley, Idaho, the New York Times writes.

As per the report, Zuckerberg asked the Apple CEO how he would have handled the fallout of the scandal. In response, Tim Cook reportedly said that “Facebook should delete any information that it had collected about people outside of its core apps.”
