Even Bill Gates isn't quite sure what Apple should do about encryption. Gates weighed in on the Apple vs. FBI controversy during a Reddit AMA this afternoon, arguing that a balance needs to be struck between security and the ability to provide law enforcement with critical information — but he indicated that it was unclear to him where that line should be drawn. "This case will be viewed as the start of a discussion," he writes. "For tech companies there needs to be some consistency including how governments work with each other. The sooner we modernize the laws the better."
