The U.S. government said in a court filing on Thursday it was appealing a judge's ruling that prevented it from prohibiting new downloads of the Chinese-owned short video-sharing app TikTok . The Justice Department said it appealed the order to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. In late September, a U.S. judge temporarily blocked a Trump administration order that was set to bar Apple Inc and Alphabet Inc's Google from offering new TikTok downloads. China's ByteDance, which owns TikTok, has been under pressure to sell the popular app. Beijing has revised its list of technologies subject to export bans in a way that gives it a say over any TikTok deal.
