Beijing time October 3 morning news, Tim Cook recently accepted the "Vice news tonight" interview, and reporter Elle Reeve talk about a lot of topics.
The Apple chief executive responded to Apple's commitment to privacy by removing conspiracy theorists Alex Jones from the podcast app and App Store and Apple's share price of $1 Trillion.
About China Earlier this year, Apple moved its Chinese customers ' icloud data to government-owned servers to comply with China's new Laws. The move, along with other aspects of Apple's relations with china, has been censored by US Lawmakers. Apple's relationship with China has been criticized by several American politicians. however, on this point, Cook explained that in any country, the data on its servers are not easily accessible. ' No one can easily get the Data. I mean, the data is encrypted, as if it were everywhere. therefore, There is no question of ' where it's located '. I mean, we have servers in many different countries around the WORLD. There is no so-called in which country it is easier to get data one says. If you lock your phone in china, I can't open it. One of the things people are puzzled about is that some countries, including china, require that their citizens ' data be kept in their own territory. We work with a Chinese company to provide icloud Services. But the keys are in our HANDS.

Privacy On the subject of privacy, Cook reiterated his view that privacy was one of the most important issues of the 21st Century. He added that while he is usually not a ' pro-regulation ' person, he does think it's time to make a change: ' I'm not a pro-regulation person, but when the free market doesn't bring a good result to society, you need to ask yourself what we need to do. We need to find a way to elevate it to a new height and then change something. The way we design our products is to challenge ourselves to collect as little data as Possible. We motivate ourselves to become unrecognizable. We will not read your email and your information. You are not our Product. This is not the business we are going to Run. ' The idea that Apple's focus on privacy undermines Siri's functionality is Opposed. He explains that while some companies say they need to get all the users ' data to improve their services, Apple does not believe This: ' Some companies will try to convince you that ' I need all your data to improve the service '. We don't believe This. Whoever said this to you is an unreasonable Word.

Review content In August, Apple Alix Jones 5 infowars Podcasts from Alex Jones to contain the conspiracy news content and removed it from the podcasts app. One months later, Apple took further action against jones, permanently banning the Infowars app from appearing in the app Store.
Social media facebook, music streaming spotify, and youtube, the video site, were then Alix Jones Content.
Cook explains that Apple wants to provide users with a manual selection of platforms that transmit very conservative, very free content, which is part of the removal of Infowars content, and that Apple has no political stance. Cook said: ' What do users need? ' We need a selection of platforms that we can always provide. We believe that users want to be able to review the app, censor the podcast, review Apple news, and manually select the stories that will be shown First. That is exactly what we did, without a political stance. We have not entrusted these matters to Others. You can see this clearly from the App Store and Podcasts. It can be seen from very conservative content to very free Content. I think we should act in this way.
'
Apple has hit Jones and infowars, set the wind for the tech industry, and even Zuckerberg has come out to support it, and Cook says such things are not planned in Advance. "we had no prior communication with other technology companies about jones," Cook Said. I think it's important that we make a decision on our OWN. Frankly speaking, we have not communicated. As far as I know, no Apple employee has ever done So.

Cook's successor Reeve asked Cook what he thought of the future and what would happen if his successor's privacy values were different from him? it's important to have a strong power as Apple's Ceo.
Mr. Cook thinks privacy is part of Apple's culture, and in a 2010 video, jobs talked about it. "speaking of power, I never felt that I had any power," cook said. To the world, I have my own views and thoughts, among which there is no such thing as Power. When it comes to privacy, if you look at what Steve Jobs said at the time, his ideas are consistent with my ideas, and this is our Culture. I think that, as the next successor, it should not be considered a change, at least not in my Imagination.
