Apple chief executive Tim Cook on Wednesday warned the world’s most powerful regulators that the poor privacy practices of some tech companies, the ills of social media and the erosion of trust in his own industry threaten to undermine “technology’s awesome potential” to address challenges like disease and climate change. Washington Post.
At the European Parliament Tim Cook began to speak,
and the legislators sat up for to hear this awesome geek.
He lamented all the rhetoric infecting platform use;
twas most it fallacious and a terrible abuse.
The mining of raw data he denounced as conscienceless,
and hopes that nosy companies will be denied access.
What good is AI, he did ask, and algorithms keen
if it makes privacy a farce and dignity demean?
Cook demanded lawmakers around the globe enact
tougher legislation and don't worry about tact.
His speech hit all the right spots, but if I may just be frank,
I think when it was over he went laughing to the bank.
