The California court ruling cites concerns over free speech.

A United States judge on Sunday, September 20, blocked the government's ban on WeChat downloads, hours before it was due to take effect in an ongoing technology and espionage battle between Washington and Beijing.the ban on downloads of video-sharing app TikTok as well as messaging platform WeChat, both owned by Chinese companies.

The order against WeChat would have slowed it down and made it unusable in the United States for videochats with family and friends, according to experts. President Donald Trump said Saturday that he had approved a deal allowing Silicon Valley giant Oracle to become the data partner for hugely popular TikTok to avert a shutdown of that app.

TikTok -– owned by China's ByteDance – confirmed the agreement, which came with companies racing against the Sunday deadline set by Trump's administration.
