Apple CEO Tim Cook said on Tuesday that regulation in technology is becoming increasingly important, but he doesn't trust U.S. lawmakers to take a smart approach.

At a Time Magazine conference on Tuesday, Cook said that Europe's GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), which aimed to give consumers greater control over their data, was a good first step though it doesn't go far enough. He's skeptical of the U.S. pushing in the right direction because of the anti-regulation positions taken by American businesses.
