US District Court Judge Wendy Beetlestone provided a breather to the ByteDance-owned video sharing platform TikTok by blocking a US Commerce Department order set to ban the app in the country. The order was set to take effect on November 12. "Over 100 million of these TikTok users are within the United States, and at least 50 million of these US users use the app on a daily basis," said Beetlestone.
