Next Monday WWDC 2020 will take place totally online, where we hope to see great news. Another novelty that will emerge this Monday is the interview with the CEO of Apple on CBS. Technological issues are ignored. It focuses on something that is on a higher plane: Civil rights.
In an interview with Tim Cook that will be broadcast on Monday before the WWDC 2020 broadcast, the importance of the defense of civil rights has been stressed. So he has also made it known to the president of the USA.
In the interview, the recent decision made by the Supreme Court is discussed. A federal civil rights law protects LGTBY workers from discrimination. That is, it is illegal to fire an employee because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. A law of June 15, 2020.
It is not for nothing, but the United States often boasts of being an advanced country at all levels. But that a law is promulgated in the XXI century, that talks about non-discrimination, says a lot about the paradoxes in which that country lives.
Tim Cook at one point in the interview and in response to a question, affirms that with Donald Trump, he not only talks about technology, business or tariffs. It also speaks of the future of those people who are not treated as equals for any condition or opinion.
There is also talk of the events that occurred a few weeks ago. The death of George Floyd and the response of American citizens and the rest of the world. Apple has since contributed to various initiatives in defense of the most affected groups.
However the most important of his response to this situation, he refers to: “… putting a camera has 'democratized' the situation by facilitating the creation of indisputable evidence of events”.
