SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 24 (Xinhua): A US judge from the District Court for the Northern District of California on Friday denied the government's motion to stay the preliminary injunction on banning WeChat, a messaging, social media, and mobile payment app owned by Chinese company Tencent.

Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler in San Francisco ruled that the government's additional evidence did not alter the court's previous holding that US-based users of WeChat are entitled to a preliminary injunction.
