Apple's Chief Executive Tim Cook said Monday that talk of regulating technology companies is "fair" — even though he disagrees with it — because issues around privacy have "gotten totally out of control."

"Generally, for me, I'm not a big fan of regulation, I think self-regulation is the best," Cook said in a CNN interview. "But when it's not working, and in some cases it's not working, you have to ask yourself what form of regulation might be good. And I think it's a fair question many people are asking at this point."
