After Facebook suffered a data breach scandal, Cook, who has always been cautious, made repeated public comments on Facebook and its CEO. 'The truth is if we monetize our users — if our users become our products. —We can make a lot of money. 'He told Kara Swisher of Recode's blog, and Chris Hayes of MSNBC, in an interview last week. 'But we Did not choose to do so. '
On April 2, Zuckerberg responded to Cook's remarks in an interview with Vox's Ezra Klein podcast:
'You know, I think that if you don’t pay us, we don’t care about what you say. It’s just a flamboyance. It's totally inconsistent with the facts. In fact, if you want to build a service to help connect everyone in the world, then many people will Can't afford to pay. '
Zuckerberg believes that this is why the use of advertising-based business models is the only 'rational' reason that can support this broad service model.
Then he snorted the high prices of Apple products:
'But, if you want to build a service that not only serves the wealthy, then you need to have something that people can afford. I think Jeff Bezos, who launched the Kindle reader many years ago. Jeff Bezos) has a very good say in this area. Zuckerberg said, 'Some companies work hard to charge you more, and some companies try to charge you less.' And in Facebook, We obviously belong to companies that are trying to reduce fees, and we provide a free service that everyone can use.
Zuckerberg showed such a defensive reaction, probably because of what Cook said when interviewed last week. In another exchange, Sveche asked Cook if he was in Zuckerberg. What will happen in the situation. 'I will not fall into this situation.' Apple CEO replied.
Cooke also stated at the China Development High-Level Forum held in Beijing last week that to solve Facebook-related privacy issues, there must be some 'well-designed' regulations:
Whoever you are, you can know what you have browsed over the years, who your contacts are, who they contact, what you like and dislike, and every private detail in your life - I personally think , should not be, should not exist. '
In Klein's blog, Zuckerberg again satirized Cook and Apple's high pricing problems:
'I do not think that providing free services will mean that we do not care about users. On the contrary, I think it is very important that we do not all suffer from the Stockholm Syndrome. (Note: The hostages being taken hostage to and sympathize with the hijackers, Tolerate him.) Let companies that are trying to charge you more money convince you more. They actually care more about you. Because it sounds absurd to me. '
Industry insiders believe that after the latest report that Facebook had ever paid for the user’s growth at any cost, Zuckerberg must do more to prove that his company cares more about its users than to care about other companies’ What did the CEO say?
