Apple’s Many Privacy Violations Leave Little Trust in Tim Cook’s Promises

Apple CEO Tim Cook (also known as Tim Apple) received widespread criticism on social media recently after he argued that current antitrust efforts against Big Tech are bad for national security and user privacy.

Despite the company’s carefully cultivated image as a tech company whose business model doesn’t rely on collecting user data, the smartphone giant’s reputation for protecting user privacy has been undermined due to recent scandals.

Recently, Apple agreed to a $14.8 million settlement over a suit that accused the Big Tech giant of breach of contract for storing users’ iCloud data on third-party servers.
