Cook isn't arguing that companies should not be allowed to have access to data. He's arguing that there should be laws in place to prevent misuse and abuses of that data.
There's nothing inherently wrong with agreeing to give a company access to your data. But it's absolutely wrong that once you've handed your data over, that company can do whatever it wants with it, with no restrictions, as if they own it.
- thefounder 8y agoHow is Google abusing the data collected in your context? You gave your consent when you setup your android device, right? You want Google voice or Siri? They surely benefit from all your data.
- iagooar 8y agoIn the same way you cannot just sign a contract that is against the law, a company shouldn't be allowed to do whatever they want with your data, just because they made you click on an "Accept" button.
- thegayngler 8y agoSo basically consent to use your data is a lifetime contract. I think you should be able to delete(I don't mean disable) your data from the platform when you sever ties with a platform.
