Federal judge says Trump administration's actions against TikTok 'likely exceed' the president's authority

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.A federal judge granted TikTok an injunction Sunday, temporarily blocking the US government's attempt to block new downloads and software updates of the app in the US., the judge said the restrictions imposed on TikTok "likely exceed" the authority of IEEPA, the law giving the president broad authority over economic transactions Donald Trump used to issue the app ban.

TikTok also proved it would "suffer irreparable harm" if a ban occured, according to the judge. In court documents,Another hearing on Trump's attempted ban is expected before November 12, when the rest of the ban's "phased approach" is scheduled to go into effect.

The judge's Sunday night ruling for the injunction came hours before the US government was set to enforce the first part of its two-pronged strategy to ban TikTok nationwide. Sunday's action, as recently laid out by the Commerce Department, would ban new app downloads and software updates for existing TikTok users.

The federal judge also said TikTok demonstrated it would "suffer irreparable harm" if a ban were to go into effect. In documents submitted to the court, TikTok interim head Vanessa Pappas said that the app would lose 80% to 90% of its users if a ban lasted for more than six months.

It remains unclear what will happen to the US government's planned TikTok ban if a deal to settle the company's ownership in the US is finalized. The current proposal would break off TikTok's global business into a new US-based company, in which Oracle, Walmart and US investors would have substantial stakes.

That Federal Judge is exceeding his authority

Remove the judge...

Thank you so much mr. President Trump. Because you know what you're talking about. This app is killing our children's. And is just the beginning. People will drop dead by the minute. By the clock like tik tok tik tok tik tok so sad .😔

So, you don’t mind China attacking & collecting data on us? How can a communist country’s product (that has a proven back door in the code to get at ALL of your info on your phone) mean more than the people of the US?

Satiristas ‘Bought time something did .

Thought: Did the courts try to stop him closing the border to China during the COVID outbreak early days? I can’t remember. POTUS has more intel than a Fed judge on an emergency stay. Scary court powers are rearing their ugly heads.

He’s mad because they were making fun of him & spreading the truth about his shady shenanigans
