Last night, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, he received the award given last February of this year for defending freedom of expression. Cook took advantage of his appearance at the gala Free Expression Awards to defend that companies and, above all, multinationals, must have values.
According to the source who attended the event, AppleInsider, Cook defended in his speech that the rights and freedoms of today's society is a fundamental cornerstone in an increasingly technological world.
Apple's top president was awarded for having a profound impact on today's society in the way we communicate today, as well as by taking a public position on such specific issues and the order of the day as the racial equality, privacy, the environment and the rights of the LGTB community, among others.
And is that freedom of expression is a central issue for Cook. In his own words:
“We know that these freedoms require protection. It is not only the forms of expression used today, but those that challenge us, those that annoy us and even those that we dislike. Mentioning the First Amendment, they are the foundation of many of our rights today. "
And this is a responsibility that Apple takes very seriously. We must first defend our freedoms by allowing people around the world to speak, and we must have values and enact them. "
Among the winners of the night, also stand out the founder of PlayboyHugh Hefner, who received the arts and entertainment award, along with Christie Hefner, daughter of the businessman and president of Beauty Hatch.
During the ceremony, Tim Cook took the opportunity to take a mass bath with those attending the event, who uploaded a multitude of photos to social networks posing with the CEO of the Californian company.
