A federal judge in San Francisco on Saturday issued a preliminary injunction blocking a similar Commerce Department order from taking effect on Sunday on Tencent Holdings' WeChat app
A key reason for the discrepancy lies in differing views over the eventual distribution of TikTok's shares
Oracle and Walmart have rights to buy 12.5% and 7.5% respectively of a newly established TikTok Global under an agreement that won the approval of President Donald Trump
US President Donald Trump said he had approved a deal, which included a $5 billion education fund, to allow TikTok to continue to operate in the United States
Oracle and Walmart together could end up with as much as 20% of the entity, purchased in a round of financing that would precede an initial public offering
US Commerce Department announced a one-week delay until Sept. 27 in an order issued Friday that was set to require Apple Inc and Alphabet Inc's Google to remove the TikTok app for download
The deal mandates the creation of a new American company -- incorporated in Texas -- and the prospect of 25,000 new jobs
TikTok parent ByteDance Ltd. and Oracle submitted these details in their proposal to the Trump administration with a goal of averting an outright sale of the app or a shutdown of its US operations
Trump had previously threatened to ban the app unless its US operations were sold to a US company and the US government received a share of the proceeds
The U.S. Treasury submitted a revised term sheet to ByteDance late Wednesday to address national security concerns that was agreed to by the Chinese parent of TikTok
Business Standard brings you the top headlines of the day
Trump issued an executive order last month that would ban TikTok in the United States as early as Sept. 20 if ByteDance does not comply with a sale
Trump has ordered ByteDance to divest TikTok amid US concerns that user data could be passed to China's Communist Party government
They feel India will still want a local partner-based strategy in which data centres are placed locally within the country
Microsoft loses out; Chinese media stresses American operations won't be sold to any firm
Oracle Corp confirmed on Monday that it was part of a proposal made by TikTok-parent ByteDance to the US government to become a technology partner for the Chinese firm
Microsoft announced Sunday that its bid to buy TikTok has been rejected
Oracle Corp signaled a recovery in client spending as remote work spurred demand for cloud services as well as traditional licensing business, helping it beat expectations for first-quarter results
Oracle argued that the Defense Department unfairly and unnecessarily tailored the minimum contract requirements for Amazon and Microsoft
Some speculations surrounding the sale of TikTok's US operations may soon come to an end as the short video-sharing platform owned by Chinese unicorn ByteDance has reportedly reached a deal.
