Two Appeals Courts Dismiss U.S. Legal Challenges to TikTok

Two U.S. appeals courts dismissed the Justice's Department's legal challenges to court rulings that barred a Trump-era effort to ban new downloads of Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok. The Justice Department asked two appeals courts to dismiss its appeals after President Joe Biden in June withdrew a series of executive orders by then-President Donald Trump that sought to ban new downloads of WeChat, TikTok and other Chinese apps. Biden ordered a new review of the apps' impact on U.S. users' privacy.
