WASHINGTON: Famous video-sharing application TikTok has inquired a US judge to stop the Trump administration’s banning of the Chinese social-media network, Bloomberg Information recorded on Sat..
TikTok & its parent firm, ByteDance Ltd, registered a case in Washington(WA) federal court late Fri. night challenging US President Donald Trump’s executive order, the record stated.
The US Commerce Dept. released a ban on Fri. blocking citizens within the US from downloading Chinese-owned messaging application WeChat & TikTok beginning September 20.
The record cited the case as informing that Trump exceeded his own authority when he banned the application, & that he did so for political reasons rather than to block an “uncommon & exceptional danger” to the US, as the law requires.
