Executives as the company were surprised by the case&#8217;s quick escalation, according to The New York Times, and some at Apple have expressed skepticism that the FBI has exhausted its third-party tools to access the iPhones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The American Civil Liberties Union criticized the president&#8217;s demand as &#8220;dangerous and unconstitutional,&#8221; adding that complying would result in weaker security for all iPhones.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Strong encryption enables religious minorities facing genocide, like the Uyghurs in China, and journalists investigating powerful drug cartels in Mexico, to communicate safely with each other, knowledgeable sources, and the outside world,&#8221; the ACLU said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is simply no way for Apple, or any other company, to provide the FBI access to encrypted communications without also providing it to authoritarian foreign governments and weakening our defenses against criminals and hackers.&#8221; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump has called Apple out over the same issue in the past &#8212; as a candidate running for president in 2016. After Apple refused to create a backdoor to encryption to unlock an iPhone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/apple-vs-fbi-one-year-later-still-stuck-in-limbo\/\">belonging to terrorists behind the San Bernardino shooting<\/a>, Trump called for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/trump-apple-boycott-terrorist-iphone-san-bernardino-fbi\/\">boycott of the

without Apple&#8217;s help<\/a>, the Justice Department has continued its push to weaken encryption standards for its investigations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On multiple occasions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/us-five-eyes-allies-take-aim-at-tech-companies-over-encryption\/\">governments have lamented<\/a> that their&nbsp;<a

compromise on their user security and privacy in the name of public safety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Along with Apple, companies like <a
