District Judge Carl Nichols issued a temporary injunction at the request of TikTok, which the White House has called a national security threat stemming from its Chinese parent firm's links to the Beijing government. The act restricts a president from prohibiting personal communications involving nothing of value, according to the judge.“Over 100 million Americans currently use TikTok to share their films, photographs, art, and news,” Nichols noted in the ruling.“Barring TikTok from US app stores would, of course, have the immediate and direct effect of halting the influx of new users, likely driving those users to alternative platforms and eroding TikTok’s competitive position,” Nichols wrote.

TikTok's overarching suit challenging the legality of Trump's executive orders continues through the court.
