Judge Carl Nichols of United States District Court for the District of Columbia temporarily blocked the TikTok ban shortly before it was due to come into effect on September 27. While this would have removed TikTok from Google’s and Apple’s stores, the app would have continued to work on devices where it was previously downloaded. The company argued that such a move would be a violation of the First and Fifth Amendments. « We’re pleased that the court agreed with our legal arguments and issued an injunction preventing the implementation of the TikTok app ban, » it said in a statement.
