Chief Executive Officer, CEO of Apple gadgets Tim Cook, implored all technology companies to take a moral stand against hate speech to avert it imminent damage on life and properties.

Tim Cook said this while delivering a speech at the Anti-Defamation League on Monday.

“I sometimes say that I worry less about computers that think like people and more about people that think like computers, without values or compassion, without concern for consequences,”

Cook made this statement while accepting the Anti-Defamation League’s first-ever “Courage Against Hate” award on Monday night, an award that is said to be an honour that will be given to any business leader that believes and preach equality of the human race.

He promise to kick out anyone who preach or sponsor any form of hate, division or violence speech from their platforms

“You have no place on our platforms. You have no home,” he said.

“At Apple, we are not afraid to say that our values drive our curation decisions. And why should we be? Doing what’s right — creating experiences free from violence and hate, experiences that empower creativity and new ideas — is what our customers want us to do” Cook added.
