US Court halts ban on TikTok

A US federal Court on Sunday halted the ban ordered by the Trump administration on Chinese short-video app TikTok, hours before it was to go into effect. A temporary injunction was issued by Judge Carl Nichols in a one-page order on the request of the Chinese company. Trump's order sought a ban on new downloads of TikTok from September 28. An order from the White House had announced that the application will not be available for download on Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store in the United States from the night of September 27, while the app would be allowed to function till November 12. 

The complete ban on TikTok was deferred to November 12 after the reports of final talks on the sale of its US operations emerged. According to a report, Oracle and Walmart will buy 12.5 per cent and 7.5 per cent stake respectively in newly established TikTok Global and both companies would pay a combined $20 billion if they agree to the proposed valuation.
