what happens now with facebook, google, the others? there s been a lot, there s going to be senate hearings, all kinds of things. well, i don t think all companies are in the same position. okay. right. so i think one thing that is necessary is for i think everybody needs to understand silicon valley is not monolithic. right? i know it s ease to kind of group people that are the same market cap or big together. lots of hoodies. yeah, but life is really different than that. these companies are very different company to company. and so what i think has to be done, we have to think about how how this these profiles can be abused. and i might have a different view than you. i might be more on the privacy side than most, right? and i suspect everybody has a personal different level of
individually and as a company has gone up exponentially even since that occurred. the only way to protect your data is to encrypt it. there is no other way known today. and so if i were you, i would do business with no one that wasn t doing that. now, it is a thorny issue from a law enforcement point of view. because they may want to know what you re saying. and i don t have access to what you re saying. and my view is kind of simple is, i don t think that you as a user expects me to know what you re telling people. right. right? i m not eavesdropping on your messages and on your phone calls and don t think i should be in that position. and so if they tried to compel us as they did two years ago, they tried to force us to create
immigrationing is very intense right now. and i saw an interesting story about colleges reporting on the numbers for foreign students applying for the u.s. there s been an appreciable decline. that clearly seems to be related to the rhetoric coming from the white house particularly. apple is a company that employs a lot of immigrants. what are you guys seeing on the frontlines? is it harder to recruits people to come here given the current political environment. yeah, i think on the student visa piece, i there part of it is the rhetoric. i think part of it is the cost of college is too high. and that not only affects our folks domestically but it affects the international, as well. and there are other international schools that are you know, becoming more competitive, as well. but here s what we re seeing. i talked to a lot of the folks in our company. the daca situation is one
it streams a bunch of different things. there s different apps, nratv is one of those things. i should say full disclosure, i work for a company called comcast that runs nratv. but you guys have this view that you have a different view than a lot of silicon valley, that you are curating these things. one of the questions we got the most out on twitter because of all the focuse right now on the nra and your praise of the parkland students was why is apple streaming nratv and how should we interpret that in the context of the kind of ethos that you just described. that s a good question. first of all, we don t stream it. we don t stream it. we place the app in the app store so somebody can go in and download it and they stream the content. so the question on the, that, certain app is we don t want to take a view that you throttles the public discourse on something.
it s poised to become the world s first trillion dollar company raising new questions about its role and responsibility in everything from job creation to education tox privacy protection. we re going to talk about that and more so let s bring out the ceo of apple, tim cook. good to see you. tim, thank you for coming. i think they re all excited to get new iphones from you. just to be clear, this is not a discussion, you re not announcing a new iphone here, is that correct. that s correcting. > sometimes you tease them. sometimes. we re going to be talking about education. you have an event here in chicago about education. and about ipads and different things. why don t we talk a little bit what you re trying to do. yeah. we announced a new curriculum called everyone can create.
