It's judgement day.
The Justice Department faced a 2:30 p.m. EDT Friday deadline to either delay the ban or oppose TikTok's preliminary injunction. It filed its objection under seal, citing submissions made by TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, that include confidential business information.
The Commerce Department gave the companies an additional week to finalize a deal before an order banning TikTok from U.S. app stores takes effect, citing"recent positive developments." Another U.S. judge, in Pennsylvania, is also considering issuing a preliminary injunction after three TikTok content creators filed suit last week arguing they would"lose access to tens of thousands of potential viewers and creators every month, an effect amplified by the looming threat to close TikTok altogether."
TikTok has said the restrictions, amid rising U.S.-China tensions under the Trump administration,"were not motivated by a genuine national security concern, but rather by political considerations relating to the upcoming general election.”
