  • 00:00Well there's so much noise about Tim Cook and Apple and the government whether it's this apple situation or broader. Has technology moved so quickly that the governments simply can't keep pace enough to regulate it in a smart and effective way . Well it is a challenge to update the policies including those issues of when does the government have a right to know having a really good debate about when is that appropriate in the extreme view that the government always gets everything nobody supports out having the government be blind people don't support that. So whether it's this particular case or a few others that are in the core. Were you blindsided a bit by I came in this morning and saw a headline saying Bill Gates backs FBI. Yeah I was disappointed because that doesn't state my view on this. I I do believe that that with the right safeguards there are cases where the government on our behalf like stopping terrorism which could get worse in the future that that that is valuable but striking that that balance. Clearly the Government's taking information historically and used it in ways that we didn't expect going all the way back say to the FBI under J Edgar Hoover. So I'm hoping now we can have have the discussion. I do believe there are sets of safeguards where the government shouldn't have to be completely blind. And what specifically should be done in this case. Just because you were blindsided and we didn't get your exact message. Well the courts are going to decide this. And I think Apple said that whatever the final court decision and still abide by in the meantime that gives us this opportunity to get the discussion and these issues will be decided in in Congress. The Patriot Act. How that gets involved. You don't want to just take the minute after a terrorist event and swing that direction or do you and Jeff don't want to completely swing away from government access when you get some abuse being revealed you want to strike that balance that the United States leads in setting an example. Do you think that privacy is in the same stage now as environmentalism was when you perhaps when you were younger that it's one of those issues that sort of people are going to come and work at Microsoft the sort of people who to work at Apple. It's it's becoming as fundamental to them as greenery it was to a previous generation . Well everybody wants to feel like their information is is kept private particularly because more and more of your activity is in there and that did too long. Then again when we put it all out there are empowered by technology in terrorist activities. They can't it's not just that they can kill a few people it's through nuclear biological they could kill a lot. So we do want the government to be out there trying to stop those things from happening .
