美法官给特朗普政府下最后通牒:不提交法律文件辩护就推迟TikTok禁令

CGTN 2021-06-24
当地时间9月23日,TikTok母公司字节跳动向美国联邦法官申请禁制令,叫停特朗普下达的“封禁令”。

对此,美国地方法官24日表示,特朗普政府要么推迟禁止美国应用商店提供TikTok下载的禁令,或者在周五之前提交捍卫该决定的法律文件。

美国商务部下令禁止苹果公司和Alphabet公司的谷歌应用商店提供TikTok应用下载,该命令将于周日晚些时候生效。

经过24日举行的听证会后,美国地方法官卡尔·尼科尔斯称,政府必须对TikTok提出的初步禁令作出回应,否则必须在美国东部时间周五下午2:30前宣布推迟该禁令。

A U.S. judge said Thursday the Trump administration must either delay a ban on U.S. app stores offering TikTok for download or file legal papers defending the decision by Friday.

The U.S. Commerce Department order banning Apple Inc and Alphabet Inc's Google app stores from offering the short video sharing app for new downloads is set to take effect late Sunday. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols said the government must file a response to a request by TikTok for a preliminary injunction or delay the order by 2:30 p.m. EDT Friday.

A federal judge in San Francisco on Saturday issued a preliminary injunction blocking a similar Commerce Department order from taking effect on Sunday on Tencent Holdings' WeChat app.

The Commerce Department said it plans to challenge the WeChat injunction, but government lawyers have not yet filed an appeal.

In July, Donald Trump signaled an executive order with a potential ban on the app in the U.S., alleging concerns over national security because of the company's Chinese ties. 

On Saturday, the Commerce Department announced a one-week delay in the TikTok order, citing "recent positive developments" in talks over the fate of its U.S. operations.

TikTok said the restrictions "were not motivated by a genuine national security concern, but rather by political considerations relating to the upcoming general election."

TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, said on Monday it will own 80 percent of TikTok Global, a newly created U.S. company that will own most of the app's operations worldwide. ByteDance added that TikTok Global will become its subsidiary.

Oracle Corp and Walmart Inc have agreed to take stakes in TikTok Global of 12.5 percent and 7.5 percent, respectively. But on Monday, Oracle said ByteDance's ownership of TikTok would be distributed to ByteDance's investors, and that the Beijing-based firm would have no stake in TikTok Global.
