扎克伯格回怼苹果CEO!这智商绝对在线
The Facebook CEO defended his company's business model in an interview on Monday, arguing that recent criticism from his counterpart at Apple was unfounded. Cook recently called for increased regulation of social media, and questioned the practice of monetizing user data on free platforms by selling ads that allow advertisers to target specific groups. "The reality here is that if you want to build a service that helps connect everyone in the world, then there are a lot of people who can't afford to pay, having an advertising-supported model is the only rational model that can support building this service," Zuckerberg said in response to Cook's criticism. Facebook has been under intense pressure after it admitted that Cambridge Analytica, a company that worked on President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, had accessed and improperly stored a huge trove of its user data. Cook was asked last month how he would handle the crisis. "I wouldn't be in this situation," the Apple CEO told reporters. "The truth is, we could make a ton of money if we monetized our customer — if our customer was our product," he said. "We've elected not to do that." Apple makes the vast majority of its money selling hardware, including iPhones, iPads and Macs. Facebook, on the other hand, has built an entire business on selling ads that target users based on information they provide. Cook called privacy a "human right" and "a civil liberty" during his interview. When "all of a sudden something is chasing me around the web," Cook said, he finds it "creepy." Zuckerberg said, however, that Facebook is dedicated "serving people," despite its reliance on advertising. "If you want to build a service which is not just serving rich people, then you need to have something that people can afford," Zuckerberg said. "I think it's important that we don't all get Stockholm Syndrome and let the companies that work hard to charge you more convince you that they actually care more about you," he added. |
