据美媒当地时间12日报道,美国商务部当天发表声明宣布,他们会服从宾夕法尼亚州联邦法官的裁决,暂不执行“禁止美国境内向TikTok提供技术服务”的禁令,这意味着TikTok目前能够继续在美国运营。 The U.S. Commerce Department said on Thursday it would delay enforcement of a ban on TikTok in compliance with a court order in favor of the Chinese-owned social media sensation. The department said in a statement that a shutdown order won't go into effect "pending further legal developments." 此前,为了抗议特朗普政府以“国家安全”为由颁布的TikTok禁令,三名美国TikTok创作者联合向宾夕法尼亚州地方法院提起诉讼。 当地时间10月30日,联邦法官温迪·比特斯通针对此案作出了有利于TikTok的裁决。 The U.S. Justice Department said it had appealed Judge Wendy Beetlestone's order that blocked the government from imposing restrictions on TikTok. U.S. officials have alleged national security concerns over the short-video sharing app due to its Chinese ties, although TikTok has reiterated many times that all its data is stored on servers in the U.S., with a backup in Singapore, and it is making efforts to deal with the U.S. government's security concerns. 比特斯通认为,特朗普政府的行为明显已经超出法律赋予总统的权限,且将对TikTok用户造成“无法弥补的伤害”。比特斯通还指出,“美国政府对TikTok威胁国家安全的描述都是假设的”。 据此,她作出判决,要求美国商务部暂缓执行禁令,在没有进一步判决之前不得禁止美国境内向TikTok提供数据托管服务、内容传输服务或其他技术性服务。 Beetlestone wrote the "government's own descriptions of the national security threat posed by the TikTok app are phrased in the hypothetical."点击图片阅读此前报道:《美国联邦地区法院裁决暂缓实施TikTok下架行政令》↑ 事实上,这并非美国法官第一次叫停TikTok相关禁令。 当地时间9月27日,美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院裁定,暂缓实施美国政府关于将TikTok从美国移动应用商店下架的行政令。这一行政令原本将在数小时内生效。 This is not the first court challenge to Trump's attempted crackdown on TikTok. In late September, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols postponed a Trump administration order that would have banned TikTok from smartphone app stores. TikTok曾于9月发布声明称,其母公司字节跳动与美国甲骨文和沃尔玛两家公司达成原则性共识,三方将据此尽快达成符合中美两国法律规定的合作协议。甲骨文公司随后也对外证实,它将成为TikTok“可信技术提供商”;沃尔玛公司也表示将在电子商务领域与TikTok展开合作。不过,美国政府始终没有针对该协议给出明确回应。 Talks on a deal between TikTok's Chinese parent company ByteDance, and U.S. companies Oracle Inc. and Walmart have been ongoing to finalize a preliminary agreement for the American companies to take stakes in a ByteDance subsidiary, TikTok Global. Under the deal, Oracle and Walmart will become TikTok's "trusted technology providers," responsible for U.S. users' data security, a measure taken to address the security concerns of the U.S. government. 据了解,在该协议被美国政府搁置后,TikTok还提交了一份新的美国“代运营”方案。根据该方案,TikTok计划将美国用户数据及内容审核业务外包给一个新成立的美国代运营公司,而其余业务继续由TikTok运营。TikTok认为,这个“代运营”方案能够消除美国政府对用户数据安全与平台内容的顾虑,但此方案最终仍没有被美国政府接受。 知情人士表示,目前字节跳动仍在努力与美国政府达成新的协议。 推荐阅读:TikTok再对美国政府发起诉讼 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
