Apple’s CEO Interviewed at TIME 100 Summit talked about Privacy and his 2014 Revelation that he was Gay – Patently Apple
During the TIME 100 Summit held yesterday, Apple’s CEO was interviewed by TIME Executive Editor John Simons talking about privacy and his decision to come out publicly about being gay back in 2014.
Cook noted that he worries that people will become “restrained” and begin thinking and behaving differently as they lose their sense of privacy in a world where digital devices and technology become more and more adept at tracking their movements. Below is a snippet from that interview.
The second part of the interview centered on Cook’s revelation in 2014 that he was gay. For that, watch the full interview here.

03 – “The Showtime series ‘Super Pumped’ illustrates the depths that a developer would go to get around Apple’s Privacy Policies”
