TikTok had sought the preliminary injunction to temporarily halt the ban. “We’re pleased that the court agreed with our legal arguments and issued an injunction preventing the implementation of the TikTok app ban,” a spokesman for TikTok said Sunday after the judge’s decision. In early August, Trump issued executive orders to effectively ban TikTok and WeChat in the United States. To avoid a ban, TikTok has been in talks for months to strike a deal with an American technology company to defuse national security concerns. Since the push for an app ban in the United States began to circulate, advertisers have pulled campaigns from TikTok, denting the company’s revenue, according to court filings.
