A federal judge has issued an injunction against the Trump Administration’s order to ban TikTok from app stores, striking a blow against the administration’s effort to stop people from using Chinese-developed services.
The Washington Post reports that U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a 2019 Trump appointee to the bench, ruled to block the administration’s order. His ruling will likely be made Monday.
The Trump Administration has sought to ban the downloading of the TikTok app from app stores starting Sunday night. This ruling allows people to continue to use and download the app.
