Information & Ethics committee  I don't know that I would presume to even understand the aspects of Facebook enough to fix it. What I know we can focus on is primarily two ways. I always put technological solutions first. What we want to do is put the user in control of the data and of access to the data on t

Information & Ethics committee  In my earlier answers I talked about how we seek to leave the data on the user's device and under their control. I'd separate collection by a corporate entity from collection from a device that's under the user's control. Where possible, we want to leave that control in the hands

Information & Ethics committee  I do see collection from a company compared to being on the user's device as different. I almost wouldn't want to use the word “collection”. Maybe we should say “storage” or something.

Information & Ethics committee  I believe that's also the answer for Apple.

Information & Ethics committee  The acquisitions that I'm familiar with have been companies like, say, AuthenTec, which was a firm whose technology we used to build the first version of touch ID into our phones. We look for technological innovations that we can integrate into our products, but I don't really se

Information & Ethics committee  From what little I know about legislation, it appears to be very challenging to write. I would presume that a goal of any legislation would be not to limit innovation, not to put a ceiling on what companies can do, but instead to try to put a floor for good behaviours.

Information & Ethics committee  I am aware that the state aid story made a great deal of press, I think, but I'm really aware of it as a consumer of the news. I haven't done a lot of reading on European competition law. Similarly, as I'm focused on privacy by design from the engineering side, for questions on t

Information & Ethics committee  When it comes to antitrust regulations, I'm working with an engineering organization, so I can't say I've given a lot of thought to the regulation side. I would be happy to take any questions and refer them back to our legal or government affairs teams.

Information & Ethics committee  My focus, in terms of our platforms, is to put the user in control of data and to leave as much control as possible in the hands of users.

Information & Ethics committee  I'd like to be really precise, madam, about the “you” and the “it” in your sentences because I think you used them correctly, but there is a subtle distinction there. “It”—your phone—does know that. Your phone is collecting based on sensor data and behavioural patterns and tries

Information & Ethics committee  If Apple security teams, in addition to the steps that have been discussed here, become aware that an account has likely been breached, then we can take steps through what's called “automated reset” on the account. We will actually force a password reset and do additional challen

Information & Ethics committee  You mentioned balancing usability and security.

Information & Ethics committee  We try to strike a balance there between whether you are the good guy trying to get back in, so let's not make it hard for you, or let's definitely keep that bad guy out. That's an evolving space.

Information & Ethics committee  I think the application you're referring to is the Keychain Access application on the Mac and on iOS devices. Within “settings”, “passwords” and “accounts”, you can view the passwords. They are, as you say, auto-generated by the platform. Most users experience that through our Sa

Information & Ethics committee  I'm not aware of Apple doing the kind of modelling you're talking about. Instead, our machine learning tends to be on device intelligence. For instance, as the keyboard learns about the user, the device itself collects and uses this information to train itself for that user wit
