From the referenced Financial Review interview[1]:
> Cook sees the upholding of privacy against those “hucksters” and their “juiced-up algorithms” as a human right. And taking a stand has certainly been a trait of his tenure. “We do things because they’re just and right,” he said when asked by investors at a shareholder meeting in 2014 whether Apple should avoid embracing environmental causes. “If you want me to make decisions that have a clear ROI, then you should get out of the stock.“
Seems a trifle hard to square with Apple's recent actions.
