JUNE 2019 MACWORLD 13there’s plenty of things that it didn’t do
that it needs to do, but I think it’s a step
in the right direction.
“It may be that the center of gravity
in moving the ball forward, in privacy,
may be in Europe. It may eventually
come to the U.S. We are advocating
strongly for regulation, because I do not
see another path at this point.”Certainly, privacy and security are core
Apple values, and it makes sense to fight
for that across the tech sector. Such
regulations would also be good business
for Apple, as it would cost many of its
competitors much more to comply with
strict privacy regulations.
ON DONALD TRUMP
“I would never talk about conversations
that I’ve had with the President.
Regardless of who the President is. I
don’t think it’s proper to do that. The
things that I’m passionate about as the
leader of Apple is getting DACA fixed,
getting the immigration system working
for America, including fixing these green
card backlogs. We have people who are
in 90-plus year backlogs on green
cards. Trade is very important. I think it’s
good for America and we have to figure
out how it’s good for everyone, not just
a set of people in America but good for
everyone.”ON EDUCATION
“When your founder doesn’t have one [a
four-year college degree], it kind of says
a lot about what people can do without
a college education. I think
fundamentally we have, as a society,
gotten too much ingrained in what is the
pedigree, what is the degree, all this
kind of stuff, and lost sight of the
humanity in the conversation.
“We’re out pushing on getting every
kid to learn coding. I think every kid in
the world should learn to code. I think
it’s the most important second language
you can learn. It’s a global language.
There’s no such thing in the world, it’s
the only one. And it’s a way to express
yourself, whether your passion is in the
sciences or the arts. And I think software
is touching our lives everywhere.
