We want to share with you the 10 best quotes from this speech.<\/p>\n Photo courtesy of EPIC\n<p>1. \u201cOur privacy is being attacked on multiple fronts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2. \u201cI\u2019m speaking to you from Silicon Valley, where some of the most prominent and successful companies have built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency about their personal information. They\u2019re gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it. We think that\u2019s wrong. And it\u2019s not the kind of company that Apple wants to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>3. \u201cWe don\u2019t think you should ever have to trade it for a service you think is free but actually comes at a very high cost. This is especially true now that we\u2019re storing data about our health, our finances, and our homes on our devices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>4. \u201cWe believe the customer should be in control of their own information. You might like these so-called free services, but we don\u2019t think they\u2019re worth having your email, your search history and now even your family photos data mined and sold off for god knows what advertising purpose. And we think some day, customers will see this for what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Google's latest Android update brings some much needed privacy strengthening <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/io15?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">#io15<\/a> \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/XPdvEUioPP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">http:\/\/t.co\/XPdvEUioPP<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/aWcCY8Ncjw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/aWcCY8Ncjw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kaspersky (@kaspersky) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kaspersky\/status\/605304070480502784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">June 1, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>5. \u201cThere\u2019s another attack on our civil liberties that we see heating up every day \u2014 it\u2019s the battle over encryption. Some in Washington are hoping to undermine the ability of ordinary citizens to encrypt their data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>6. \u201cRemoving encryption tools from our products altogether, as some in Washington would like us to do, would only hurt law-abiding citizens who rely on us to protect their data. The bad guys will still encrypt, it\u2019s easy to do and readily available.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>7. \u201cNow, we have a deep respect for law enforcement, and we work together with them in many areas, but on this issue we disagree. So let me be crystal clear \u2014 weakening encryption, or taking it away, harms good people that are using it for the right reasons. And ultimately, I believe it has a chilling effect on our First Amendment rights and undermines our country\u2019s founding principles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>8. \u201cIf you put a key under the mat for the cops, a burglar can find it, too. Criminals are using every technology tool at their disposal to hack into people\u2019s accounts. If they know there\u2019s a key hidden somewhere, they won\u2019t stop until they find it.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-pullquote\"><p>10 best quotes from @tim_cook\u2019s recent speech on #privacy and #security<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkas.pr%2F6m8b&amp;text=10+best+quotes+from+%40tim_cook%26%238217%3Bs+recent+speech+on+%23privacy+and+%23security\" class=\"btn btn-twhite\" data-lang=\"en\" data-count=\"0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Tweet<\/a><\/blockquote>\n<p>9. \u201cLike many of you, we at Apple reject the idea that our customers should have to make tradeoffs between privacy and security. We can, and we must provide both in equal measure. We believe that people have a fundamental right to privacy. The American people demand it, the constitution demands it, morality demands it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>10. \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t ask our customers to make a tradeoff between privacy and security.
