Montana is set to become the first U.S. state to outright ban TikTok.
Apr 17, 2023Montana’s legislature just passed a bill that would force app stores like the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store to ban TikTok in the state, making it likely to be the first in the U.S. to ban the social media site.
Gianforte claimed the app shares “information to the Chinese Communist Party” and said that “use of TikTok on state devices poses a significant risk to the security of our state and Montanans’ sensitive data,” in a release announcing the state-owned device TikTok ban.that even if Gianforte is supportive, the bill is likely to face other legal challenges. TikTok CEO Shou Chew has already been on a PR campaign to assuage fears of connections to the Chinese government.
The bill also says the law would be void should TikTok be “acquired by or sold to a company that is not incorporated in any other country designated as a foreign adversary.”
