Read our privacy policy Apple CEO Tim Cook has defended his company's strong stance on user privacy, saying there should be no trade-off between privacy and national security. In an interview with American news programme 60 Minutes, Cook said it is vital that every Apple user should have their private information protected from everyone, from hackers to government security agencies. In a brief given to the court, Apple's lawyers said forcing Apple do this, "absent clear legal authority to do so," would tarnish their brand. While companies like Facebook and Google face constant criticism from privacy advocates for giving information to governments after being handed warrants, Apple's attitude to preserving privacy is shared by the company's highest executives.
