As Facebook does damage control amid the Cambridge Analytica data scandal and politicians call for regulation of social media, Apple CEO Tim Cook said Saturday that "well-crafted" rules may well be needed.

"I think that this certain situation is so dire and has become so large that probably some well-crafted regulation is necessary," Cook said in response to a question about the scandal and potential data restrictions, according to Bloomberg. "The ability of anyone to know what you've been browsing about for years, who your contacts are, who their contacts are, things you like and dislike and every intimate detail of your life -- from my own point of view it shouldn't exist."
