Microsoft founder Bill Gates has broken with other Silicon Valley giants by backing the FBI in its battle with Apple over hacking into a locked iPhone as part of the investigation into last December's San Bernardino terror attack.
In an interview with the Financial Times published Tuesday, Gates said a court order requiring Apple to help the FBI access a work phone belonging to gunman Syed Farook was " a specific case where the government is asking for access to information. They are not asking for some general thing, they are asking for a particular case."

Yes, he’s also one of the ones pushing gun control here n Washington state. Seems to be getting more liberal the older he gets,
What is on the killer’s phone that is not available from provider’s phone records (numbers, time duration), GPS tracking records (location over time), emails (archiving) from internet providers???? NSA is supposed track terrorists!?!
All that can be acquired without having the physical phone.
It all looks like another version of going after the gun ban after random killing.
What is left of citizen’s privacy ???
You already pay for your phone that gives the almighty government free access to your private activity.
Yeah, freedom for terrorists, spying on citizens!
But now he is for it? How did that work?
When Gates began his Foundation he looked around for people he figured were smarter than him on all the issues that concerned him and could help him with what he wanted to do with his Foundation. So, he hired ex-Clinton staffers who schooled him "properly."
They have determined his approach to education and international birth control and why it is good for the government to have a back door to everyone's computers.
People are realizing that smart devices are dumb. Bill Gates is a eugenisist and overall NWO bad guy. Rejecting his advice and opinions is typically a smart move.
There is a new trend with people moving back to older phones & appliances, real books, old cars.
LOL
Want to keep your $45 billion? We you have to play ball with the powers that be and support the progressive welfare and warfare state.
I like my smartphone, but I am not one of those folks you see with their head buried in it all the time.
Gates is insulated from his idiotic prescriptions by his massive wealth. Just like that other idiot Zuckerberg.
Every version of WINDOWS ever released has a Known Back Door for the NSA, so this is not surprising.
2/24/16 is the article date. The article has since then been trash canned so save the FR bandwidth for current developments in the case.
Is the government petitioning Microsoft for them to write special code so they can access phones that the gov’t cant access at the present time?
“Gates backs Common Core.”
For your children.
Oh, he understands.m he’s just lying. MS sold out to big gov years ago. Big time NWO supporter.
how can we trust that gates actually said this or was his message hacked.
hmmmm?
Who made you the post police? I searched and didn’t see it.
Interesting. Got some proof of this?
The the military must have a list of every setting necessary to keep Windows 10 from phoning home and reporting on the computer or updating it without permission. I know I haven't found all of those settings.
The NSA access system is built into every version of the Windows operating system now in use, except early releases of Windows 95 (and its predecessors).
