The United States Department of Justice (DoJ) filed an appeal on Thursday against a judge's decision to temporarily block its ban on downloads and updates of Chinese social media app TikTok in the country.
In September, US District Judge Carl Nichols granted a preliminary injunction, thus halting the app download ban just hours before it was set to take effect.
The judge said at the time that the US government provided "ample evidence" that China "presents a significant national security threat" but not that TikTok posed a risk.
