Bill Gates sides with FBI over iPhone access issue
http://www.engadget.com/2016/02/23/bill-gates-sides-with-fbi/
Bill Gates says that Apple should help the FBI break open the
San Bernardino shooter's iPhone. Talking to the Financial Times,
he said this was a very specific case: "They are not asking for
some general thing." Gates has taken a different view compared
to major tech companies: Facebook, Google and Twitter have all
sided with Apple's stance after a judged ruled that the company
needs to help the FBI in unlocking the shooter's phone to assist
in their terrorism investigations ... While Microsoft CEO Satya
Nadella hasn't said anything direction [sic], a spokesperson for
the company has pointed media to a Reform Government
Surveillance statement, which opposes the order. Microsoft is a
member of the RGS.
