Fake news is killing people’s minds’ says Apple boss
Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, has added his voice to the growing clamour calling for steps to be taken to tackle “fake news“.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, he said that fake news “is killing people’s minds”, and called for “the modern version of a public-service announcement campaign” to help educate people on the problems caused by fabricated news stories.
Cook said that tech companies must be part of that campaign: “All of us technology companies need to create some tools that help diminish the volume of fake news,” he said, and added: “We must try to squeeze this without stepping on freedom of speech and of the press.”
