The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Apple, Tim Cookhas demanded from the United States Congress a federal law that ensures the protection of user privacy, sure that the company he runs is ready to comply.
Cook has once again appealed to the defense of privacy. A concept he refers to as a “fundamental human right” in a letter addressed to the United States Congress, which has been published by the specialized portal 9to5Mac.
The CEO of Apple believe that the Americans are “closer than ever” of a protection “significant” of your privacy. A milestone that he defends as possible thanks to the parallel work of the Congress and the country’s president, Joe Biden.
Given this context, the CEO of the technology company urges “strongly” to promote privacy legislation “as soon as possible”. In addition, it offers the support of Apple throughout the process.
Congressional intervention is necessary to Cooksince for him only this body can guarantee the necessary protection measures to cover with a legal umbrella “to all Americans.”
The CEO of Apple regrets that the “continued absence” of this legislation “will perpetuate a fragmented approach” to the right to privacy. This leaves, in turn, “too many” without the protection provided by the standards that the imposition of a regulation would entail.
This letter comes shortly after a bill called ‘American Data Privacy Protection Act’ (Americans Data Privacy Protection Act). This proposal, prepared by Democrats and Republicans, proposes to limit the types of personal data that companies can collect and what use they can make of it.
