Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook waded into divisive political topics such as gun control and immigration during a commencement speech while continuing his criticisms of internet companies over a lack of user privacy.

Speaking at Duke University, where he graduated from business school 30 years ago, Cook urged the students to reject the status quo and be fearless.

"Fearless like the students of Parkland, Florida, who refuse to be silent about the epidemic of gun violence and have rallied millions to their cause," Cook said to rousing applause. "Fearless like the women who say ‘metoo’ and ‘Time’s Up.’ Women who cast light into dark places and move us to a more just and equal future. Fearless like those who fight for the rights of immigrants, who understand that our only hope for the future is one that embraces all who want to contribute."

Who knew that Apple and those in management were lefties? Everyone.

Oh, and grouping with the like-minded herd isn't "fearlessness".

Sounds good until he gets OH No not #metoo'd

I adhere to a strict #NBA policy. Never Buy Apple.

Apple is just one of those companies that piss me off for some reason.

Although I'm sure there are a few here that talk a lot about boycotting businesses, but won't give up their iphones.

After sitting in almost any US college for four plus years, nonsense and ignorance being spouted by anyone at a graduation ceremony is like sprinkling powdered sugar on a bowl full of syrup.

I wonder how many armed security guards are employed by Apple and their vendors? Be fearless...travel armed.

I'm not sure if that's a 'thing' in the gay community.

Kevin Spacey?

Kevin Spacey?

Now that you mention it, could be. I was pretty sure the #MeToo movement was focused on women, particularly 'women of color', but it seems like they're expanding;

Our goal is to reframe and expand the global conversation around sexual violence to speak to the needs of a broader spectrum of survivors. Young people, queer, trans, and disabled folks, Black women and girls, and all communities of color. We want perpetrators to be held accountable and we want strategies implemented to sustain long term, systemic change.

Metoo was never focused on minorities that I remember.

I spent over a year trying to get an APP for APEX Gun Parts approved for I-Tunes.
I had APPLE reps call me to explain that they were not anti-gun, but there was no way we could conform to their standards.
I think we caught them on the right day to finally make it in!
