Bill Gates weighs in on what he thinks about the Apple v. FBI showdown with regards to the San Bernardino massacre:

“This is 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,” Gates tells the Financial Times, disagreeing with Apple CEO Tim Cook that the FBI’s request would create an iPhone backdoor.

How shamefully wrong. If this were in fact just a singular request for information, the FBI would not have done it so publicly, they would not have invoked the All Writs Acts, and if I’m to speculate a bit, they would not have purposefully sabotaged their chances at legal access to the phone’s information. What more, but the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the FBI already have twelve iPhones they would want Apple to compromise.
