Apple CEO Tim Cook criticizes antitrust regulation, says some policies would hurt iPhone users

General News

Summary

Apple CEO Tim Cook criticized pending antitrust regulation in the U.S. and Europe on Tuesday, saying that some of the proposed policies would hurt iPhone user privacy and security. Cooks remarks on Tuesday highlight Apples strategy to soften the sideloading requirements in pending antitrust regulation by focusing on the risks it presents to users. Sideloading "would also potentially give bad actors a way around the comprehensive security protections we put in place," Cook said on Tuesday. It was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month and is expected to be further debated in Congress this year. In Europe, the EU recently agreed on the Digital Markets Act, a sweeping set of rules that target big tech companies.
