Commerce department order banning transactions with the app was to take effect on Thursday
The US justice department said it had appealed against a judge’s order that blocked the government from imposing restrictions on Chinese-owned TikTok that were set to take effect on Thursday.
The commerce department’s August restrictions order was to take effect late in the day, barring transactions with the video sharing app that its Chinese owner, ByteDance, had warned would have effectively barred its use in the United States.
