Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump’s TikTok Ban from the U.S. starting Monday. Decision comes hours before ban would have forced Apple and Google to remove TikTok app from online stores. Trump administration argued TikTok is a threat to national security because it collects vast swaths of user data, including network activity and location data. Commerce Department said it would abide by the judge’s ruling but that it would continue to defend Trump’s executive order banning TikTok from the app. The decision is only temporary, and the judge has scheduled another hearing for Wednesday to hear additional arguments from both the company and the government.”]
