The US justice department said it had appealed against a judge’s order that blocked the government from imposing restrictions on Chinese-owned TikTok that were set to take effect on Thursday.
The commerce department’s August restrictions order was to take effect late in the day, barring transactions with the video sharing app that its Chinese owner, ByteDance, had warned would have effectively barred its use in the United States.
The commerce department said on 1 November that it would comply with the Pennsylvania judge Wendy Beetlestone’s order, but would “vigorously defend” its actions.
TikTok did not immediately comment on the government’s appeal to the US third circuit.
Beetlestone enjoined the agency from barring data hosting within the United States for TikTok, content delivery services and other technical transactions.
