Apple CEO Tim Cook Warns Your Data is ‘Being Weaponized’ Against You, Stocks Sink, MH Market Updates

CNNmoney10.24.2018ManufacturedHomeStocksMarketsReportsMHProNewsThere are readers that say words to the effect that, ‘you need to remind readers how often your projections and topics have proved to be accurate.’  As one industry executive said, “If MHProNews is writing about it, I want to know about it.” Manufactured housing doesn’t exist in a silo.  There are a variety of forces that impact the industry, from inside and out, day by day.  One of those forces is big tech.  It isn’t just tech itself, which is serious, but the fact that big tech is and will be deploying competing solutions to HUD Code manufactured homes. But tonight the theme is tech itself.  When Apple CEO Tim Cook issued his latest warning on the topic of the threat by big tech, it seemed like a good time to remind the industry’s readers – most notably the independents – on just how this subject matters to you, your investments, and your business. On a big down day, that will be our focus for this evening, found further below.

It’s a subject that MHProNews has been periodically spotlighting for over 2 years.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is sounding the alarm and calling for the U.S. and countries around the world to enhance their privacy protections for consumers, warning that failing to do so could prove destructive, said Fox Business this evening.

Today [the private information] trade has exploded into a data industrial complex. Our own information, from the everyday to the deeply personal, is being weaponized against us with military efficiency,” Cook said at a conference in Brussels on data privacy Wednesday.

While praising countries in the European Union for implementing stricter privacy regulation throughout recent years – including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – Cook specifically called out the U.S. for not doing enough.

Cook said Apple supports implementation of comprehensive federal privacy laws globally that minimize data collection, let users know what data is being collected, allow users to access that data and keep all of their information secure.

Cook went on to say that opposing privacy regulation “isn’t just wrong, it is destructive.”

As companies collect more and more data, he warns, businesses may have a fuller profile of an individual than the individual even has of herself.

We shouldn’t sugarcoat the consequences. This is surveillance,” Cook said. “This should make us very uncomfortable. It should unsettle us.

In the video posted, the round table discussion includes those who say that regulation may cure this, but Charles Payne suggests that antitrust may be the answer.

It is part of the broader picture that MHProNews, spotlighting experts across the left-right divide, has said threatens business and can sway less informed voters.  To get a richer and more complete picture, see the related report and watch the video, “The Creepy Line,” which looks in depth on this vexing issue.  Note too the Trump Administration draft of an executive order on antitrust (anti-monopoly) actions, which could be deployed after the midterms.

Let’s be blunt regulations won’t cut it.  This requires aggressive anti-trust breakup.
