比尔盖茨支持FBI解锁iPhone要求

Bill Gates has broken ranks with Silicon Valley in the stand-off between Apple and the US government, saying technology companies should be forced to co-operate with law enforcement in terrorism investigations.

在苹果(Apple)与美国政府之间的这场对决上，比尔盖茨(Bill Gates)破坏了硅谷的队形，他表示应强制科技公司协助执法部门的反恐调查。

The Microsoft founder took issue with Tim Cook’s characterisation of the government’s order that Apple help break open the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone as a demand for a “back door”, denying that it would set a wider precedent.

这位微软(Microsoft)创始人反对蒂姆錠克(Tim Cook)带有个人色彩的描述，库克将政府让苹果帮助破解圣贝纳迪诺枪击案凶手iPhone的命令，描述为要求苹果开“后门”。盖茨认为这不会成为一个更深远的先例。

“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,” Mr Gates told the Financial Times.

盖茨对英国《金融时报》表示：“这是政府要求获得信息的一件个别案例。他们不是为了一般事提出要求，而是为了一个特例而提出要求。”

“It is no different than [the question of] should anybody ever have been able to tell the phone company to get information, should anybody be able to get at bank records. Let’s say the bank had tied a ribbon round the disk drive and said ‘don’t make me cut this ribbon because you’ll make me cut it many times’.”
