Apple CEO Tim Cook is in China for a trade conference and has put forward his thoughts on the recent Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal. As well as calling for tighter regulation on user profiling by apps and services, Cook also took the opportunity to underline Apple's approach to user privacy.

Cook's comments were reported by Bloomberg and the Apple boss said we're now at the stage where governments need to step in: "I think that this certain situation is so dire and has become so large that probably some well-crafted regulation is necessary," he said.
