Apple CEO calls for better privacy regulations

Apple’s CEO is calling for better data privacy regulations as Elon Musk joins Brian Acton in supporting the #DeleteFacebook campaign. The storm around Facebook’s controversial data sharing with Cambridge Analytica continued at the weekend despite efforts by the social networking firm’s chief to contain the fallout. After a week of growing criticism of Facebook’s actions and the response by company leaders, CEO Mark Zuckerberg issued further apologies in the press in the UK and the US. In full-page Sunday newspaper ads, he said Facebook could have done more to stop millions of users having their data exploited for political ends by London-based data mining firm Cambridge Analytica. “This was a breach of trust, and I am sorry,” he said. “We’re now taking steps to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
