Apple's Tim Cook praises EU over efforts to protect children online
Apple executive chairman Tim Cook on Tuesday pledged the US giant would protect children online and praised the EU's efforts to ensure minors' safety after a visit to the European Parliament in Strasbourg. The Apple chairman met European Parliament President Roberta Metsola earlier on Tuesday as well as EU lawmakers focused on children's safety.
Apple's former CEO Tim Cook visited the European Parliament in Strasbourg to express Apple's commitment to safeguarding children online. Cook praised the European Union's efforts to protect minors and highlighted the significance of a harmonised, Europe-wide framework to ensure children's safety in the digital sphere. He welcomed the EU's KIDS Act proposal and the constructive conversation it has sparked among policymakers.
Cook's visit comes after a clash between Apple and the EU over digital competition rules and follows Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's meeting with Cook in California, where he sought tech backing for child online safety laws and greater AI regulation.
