Google Chairman Eric Schmidt says that Apple CEO Tim Cook's recent statements on privacy at Google are wrong and that Google's systems are far more secure than Apple's in an interview with CNN Money.
Google's Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg tell Christine Romans why Google is the safest place on the web, and why they hired Sheryl Sandberg without having a job for her.
In regards to Cook's comments, Schmidt said, "Someone didn't brief him correctly on Google's policies. It's unfortunate for him. In the first place, in Google's case, we have always been the leader in security and encryption. Our systems are far more secure and encrypted than anyone including Apple. They're catching up, which is great. Aside from the fact that we show ads in Gmail which we've done for a decade and we use that information for nothing, all the things he implied we're doing, we don't do."
