SAN FRANCISCO (Bloomberg): A group of WeChat users asked a federal judge to block the Trump administration from imposing a ban on what they say appears to be all uses of the Chinese messaging app in the US over national security concerns.

In a complaint filed Friday (Aug 21) in federal court in San Francisco, Chinese-American lawyers who formed the US WeChat Users Alliance claim US President Donald Trump’s planned restriction on the app is unconstitutional.
