Tim Cook data privacy speech: Apple CEO calls for comprehensive data laws in America - The Verge

Apple CEO Tim Cook presenting on the complete disregard of privacy in the technology industry. His term of "data industrial complex" is very accurate, and I completely agree with his extension that "this is surveillance".

He coins four essential rights: right to have personal data minimized, right to knowledge, right to access, and right to security. I like the simplicity.

You can see the video directly on YouTube or if you prefer read the ArsTechnica transcript.

Cook references Steve Jobs' talking about privacy. I appreciate that Apple is leading the tech industry on this important topic. It’s also clear that Cook is personally passionate on this topic. He even pulls Henry David Thoreau in at the end.
