Tim Cook: Agreement with Google puts the confidentiality aside

Apple CEO Tim Cook has defended his company's deal with Google despite criticism of the larger search for which holds against user data.

His comments were transmitted in the context of a interview on HBO, and the question was why he decided to pay billions of dollars to Google to become Apple's default search engine, despite wanting to protect users' privacy.Tim Cook

Cook emphasized the measures and privacy protection offered by Apple from the Safari browser, while pointing out that users of Apple devices will have access to the "best" search engine.

"I think [Google's] search engine is the best. Look at what we have done with the controls we have integrated. "We have a private web browsing," Cook said. "We have a smart prevention tracker. What we have tried to do is find ways to help our users. It is not the perfect solution. But it will help a lot. ”

According to information, Apple will pay from 3 up to 9 billions of dollars for its deal with Google. With this agreement her search engine will become the default in the Safari browser, Siri web search and elsewhere.

Let's say there are other search engines, like her DuckDuckGo, which focus on privacy, but for Apple, revenue from Google's, combined with Safari's "security" measures, appear to outweigh privacy concerns.

Last month, Tim Cook warned that "our information is being turned on us and used against us." On Sunday, he indicated that some level of government regulation of Silicon it seems to be inevitable. "I'm a believer in the free market, but we have to admit when the free market doesn't work. It doesn't work here either. I think it's inevitable that there will be some level of regulation.”
