"In the interview, Cook suggested that U.S. regulators could look to Europe’s passage of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2018. “GDPR isn’t ideal,” said Cook. “But GDPR is a step in the right direction.”

“I’m hopeful,” Cook said at the Summit. “We are advocating strongly for regulation — I do not see another path.”"
