Apple CEO Tim Cook: You deserve privacy online

Apple CEO Tim Cook is calling for greater online privacy for consumers and asking Congress to pass legislation to help make it happen. In a Time magazine op-ed, Cook says government should regulate how data brokers can store and sell your data. CNET senior producer Dan Patterson explains what lawmakers can do and what role Apple can play.

Tim Cook is a very principled CEO. He acknowledges his duty to shareholders but strongly pushes for the right thing in many matters, which is rare nowadays. Apple would be much 'richer' by using less sustainable parts that cheapens the experience as others do, but many people don't see those things that make Apple totally unique as a giant company.

I don't care about my data being sold to the extent that it is sold. I only care about not being paid for MY data being sold. It's theft without compensation.

That's why we track everything you do and sell it.
