Judge Says TikTok Can Still Be Downloaded in U.S. for Now.
CHURCH: A federal judge says TikTok will still be available in U.S. app stores for now at least. It is a temporary win for the social media giant which was set to be banned from the U.S. just hours before the ruling. TikTok's Chinese parent company is working to sell part of its U.S. operation to American companies in order to appease the Trump administration. So let's get more on this with Selina Wang. She joins us live from Hong Kong. Good to see you, Selina. So, TikTok safe for now in the U.S. but where's this all going?</s>SELINA WANG, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Rosemary. That's right. This is just a short term win for TikTok. This really doesn't stop or halt's impending November 12th restriction set for TikTok. But what this does do is provide a little bit more time for TikTok to reach this potential deal with Oracle and Walmart and get approval from both U.S. and Chinese authorities. If successful, this entire ban can be avoided altogether. But sticking points still remain around this deal especially when it comes to the question of ownership. Trump has said that he's not going to approve a deal unless Americans keep control of this company. But there's disagreement even from their own companies about what that's going to look like. Oracle says ByteDance will not have any stake in this new entity. ByteDance says it's going to have an 80 percent stake. But Rosemary, all of this back and forth and drama around this deal really gets away from the underlying concern that started this whole mess in the first place. Which was Trump's worries about the national security risk that TikTok poses. And the experts I speak to say that this isn't the right approach to solving that problem. Instead, Trump should be more focused on creating standards and legislation that govern app collection, data collection from companies around the country, around the world including from the United States. And even other large tech companies are criticizing the Trump administration's approach. NetChoice, which is a trade group that represents big tech companies like Facebook and Google said that quote, there is no previous example in U.S. history of a complete ban on a media platform that deprives 1/4 of the U.S. population access to information on that platform. This group also warned that this ban could give foreign governments a reason to prevent American companies from accessing their markets basically providing a blueprint for how to make life difficult for American companies abroad. So the stakes here, Rosemary, are incredibly high. The outcome of this deal is going to shape U.S./China tensions moving forward, as well as potentially altering the course of the global internet landscape.</s>CHURCH: Yes, a lot of young people watching this very closely. Selina Wang, joining us live from Hong Kong. Many thanks. Well, some NFL history was made Sunday when not one, not two, but three women worked in various sideline roles. The Cleveland Browns taking on the Washington football team with female coaches on both sidelines and a female official on the field. It was a first for a regular season game but for these women being first is not new. Back in February Washington hired Jennifer King as a coaching intern making her the first black woman to coach in the NFL. In 2015 Sarah Thomas became the first full-time female NFL official and three years later Callie Brownson was hired by the Cleveland Browns as their chief of staff. And thank you so much for your company. I'm Rosemary Church. "EARLY START" is up next. You're watching CNN. Have yourselves a great day.
