Tim Cook takes a hard-hitting jibe at Facebook and its ‘existence’

There’s no love lost between the CEOs of two of the world’s biggest tech companies. We are talking about Apple CEO Tim Cook and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Apple takes immense pride in maintaining users’ privacy while Facebook – and it’s well-documented – has been accused many times of being callous in their approach towards privacy. This has often been the bone of contention between the two CEO’s. Before going into their history, let’s talk about why and what Cook said about companies like Facebook. At its annual general meeting, Cook was asked about Apple and his views on privacy.
The Apple CEO – without taking any names – pulled no punches as he said, “The idea that someone has built this enormous, detailed profile of you and of everybody in this room and then takes that detailed profile to … stir the pot, this is offensive to us.” He didn’t stop there and further said, “We think that’s it’s just wrong to do, and it should not exist.”
