The federal judge of ΗPA Carl Nichols, froze "for now" the government's attempt to ban new downloads of its implementation Tik Tok which would be activated in mid-November.
Η ByteDance owner or TikTok has been trying to sell the popular app since the President Trump threatened with an embargo, citing concerns that a Chinese company has access to US citizen data.
Η Oracle in an effort to save the popular platform, it bought a 12,5% stake TikTokGlobal, planning to use the application with Oracle Cloud.
At the same time TikTok is working on a partnership with Walmart, which has agreed to buy 7,5% of it as well TikTokGlobal, with its CEO Walmart Doug McMillon to take a position on the five-member board of directors of the company.
According to his lawyer TikTok, John Hall, a complete ban in the US, would be a "scary energy at a time when the need for free and easy communication in America is at its zenith" as reported by CNN. The White House continues to believe that the ownership of TikTok by a Chinese company is a direct threat to national security, the news website reported.
Government lawyers argue that user data could fall into the hands of the Communist Party of China - something that TikTok denies.
"We are pleased that the court agreed with our legal arguments and issued an order preventing the ban", Said a representative of TikTok in PCMag. "We will continue to defend our rights for the benefit of our community and our employees. At the same time, we will be in constant dialogue with the government about our agreement with Oracle, for which the President has given his approval.".
