My friend who knew Steve Jobs and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak always said they were both non-political but certainly would be described as liberal if anything. Stan Veit (founder of Computer Shopper) was involved with Apple in the early days, encouraging the pair of maverick business nerds and even sharing his table at the Atlantic City Computer Show with them for the first appearance of an Apple computer in a major computer show. Today's Apple CEO is certainly anti-ban as Jobs and Woz must have been considering how they grew their country with immigrants.

During the interview, he said, “You have to give the consumer tools to help with this,” saying we need filter it out before goes viral but he emphasized this must be done "without losing the great openness of the internet." He also said what many European politicians are beginning to see, that fake news is a serious problem, Calling it one of the main problems today, he continued.

“It is not something that has a simple solution.”

Tim Cook vocal opposition to Trump ban

Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple wouldn’t exist today without immigrants and what they brought to the workforce at the giant technology company. He also quoted Martin Luther King’s thought that it's not so much what people do that is important but what they fail to do.

Apple is one of more than 100 major US and international companies petitioning the Trump Administration to reconsider its plan to ban immigrants and refugees from some mostly-Muslim countries.

Trump reaction
