The US Commerce Department vowed to “vigorously defend” an executive order set to take effect on Nov. 12 that would bar ByteDance-owned TikTok from operating in the US after a federal judge blocked it.
However, the agency agreed to comply with US District Judge Wendy Beetlestone's injunction, enjoining it from barring data hosting within the US for TikTok, content delivery services, and other technology transactions.
According to Beetlestone, the US government’s descriptions of the national security threat are "phrased in the hypothetical.”
The US government alleged that TikTok poses national security concerns as personal data collected on 100 million American users could be obtained by the Chinese government.
US District Judge Carl Nichols issued a preliminary injunction on Sept. 27 that stopped the Commerce Department from ordering Apple Inc and Google app stores to remove TikTok for download.
Nichols will hold a hearing on Wednesday on the other aspects of the order that Beetlestone blocked on Friday.
Talks are ongoing for Walmart Inc and Oracle Corp to take stakes in a new company that would oversee TikTok's US operations.
