A US federal judge in Washington has temporarily put a stop to\u00a0President Donald\u00a0Trump’s\u00a0ban on TikTok downloads, just hours before it was due to take effect.<\/p>\n

The ban was set to begin\u00a0at\u00a0midnight EST (0400 GMT Monday)\u00a0but Judge Carl Nichols granted a preliminary injunction, sought by TikTok owner ByteDance, to allow the app to remain available.<\/p>\n

A more comprehensive ban remains scheduled for November, about a week after the US presidential election. The judge did not agree to postpone the later ban.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawyers for TikTok argued that the administration’s app-store ban\u00a0would infringe on First Amendment rights and do irreparable harm to the business.<\/p>\n

National security concerns<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Trump set the process in motion with executive orders in August that declared TikTok and another Chinese app, WeChat, as threats<\/a> to national security. The White House says the video service is a security risk because the personal information of its millions of US users could be handed over to Chinese authorities.<\/p>\n

Trump says TikTok must\u00a0either sell its US operations to American companies or be barred from the country<\/a>. The president has given tentative approval to a proposed deal in which Oracle and Walmart could initially own a combined 20% of a new US entity, TikTok Global. But Trump also said he could retract his approval if Oracle doesn’t have “total control” of the company<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TikTok argues the restrictions, amid rising US-China tensions under the Trump administration, “were not motivated by a genuine national security concern, but rather by political considerations relating to the upcoming general election.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
