Montana became the first US state to ban TikTok by signing legislation that prohibits mobile application stores from offering the app within the state starting next year
TikTok is already banned on all government devices on the federal level, due to concerns over the app’s ties to China and potential national security threats.
TikTok has consistently denied sharing data with the Chinese government and stated that it would not do so if asked. The company argues that the new Montana bill infringes on the First Amendment rights of the state’s residents and intends to defend the rights of its users both inside and outside of Montana.
Montana’s new law will fine app stores or TikTok USD10,000 per day for every instance in which someone is offered the ability to access or download the social media platform.
