Judge blocks U.S. ban on downloads of WeChat
- A judge has halted the Trump administration's ban on downloads of
Chinese-owned WeChat (OTCPK:TCEHY), set to go into effect today.
- U.S. Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler says that WeChat users who filed a
lawsuit "have shown serious questions going to the merits of the First
Amendment claim; the balance of hardships tips in the plaintiffs favor."
- Beeler's preliminary injunction blocks the Commerce Dept. from forcing
Apple and Google to remove Tencent's WeChat from download availability,
which
was supposed to happen by tonight. It also blocks Commerce's order that
would have barred other transactions with WeChat in the U.S.
- Commerce Dept. officials had said in the aftermath of Friday's orders
that they expected a long legal battle.
