As we well know, Facebook is involved in a major scandal involving Cambridge Analytica, which misused data from users of the social network. From this, a campaign has been taking over social networks with the purpose of deleting Facebook profiles.
With the theme on the rise, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, commented on how it is possible to solve the problem. According to him, the only way to prevent the misuse of sensitive data is to create "well-crafted" regulations.
"I think this situation is so dire and it's gotten so big that probably some well-crafted regulation is needed."

"We've worried for several years that people in many countries were handing over their data probably not knowing what they were doing and that these detailed profiles were being built, that one day something would happen and people would be incredibly offended by what was done without they knew it. Unfortunately, this prediction came true more than once."
To top it off, Tim Cook said he wouldn't want his data shared with anyone on the internet.

"The ability for anyone to know where you've been browsing for years, who your contacts are, things you like and don't like and all the intimate details of your life - from my own point of view that shouldn't happen."
